long before young people challenged the cold war order in central and eastern europe. it's impulse, the impulse for detente, came from these middle-class, moderate, middle-aged political activists who exposed the absurd and dangerous nature of the arms race as well as the environmental and health threats of nuclear testing. so before i go into more detail about each of these interpretations, let me briefly situate my book within the broader cold war historiography. this book represents an effort to figure out what peace actually meant for both foreign policy elites and nongovernmental political activists during the first five years of the cold war. we think of the cold war as an era of constant war preparedness, people living with the permanent threat of nuclear war. we think of the many cold war crises, the berlin crisis of 1961, the cuban missile crisis of 1962. we think of the korean war, the vietnam war. and well much as been written about these crises and wars, and about the nuclear arms race, those were all really excellent scholarship, i do not want to dismiss t
