The Cold War and the Color Line
American Race Relations in the Global Arena
by Thomas Borstelmann

Borstelmann...analyzes the history of white supremacy in relation to the 
history of the Cold War, with particular emphasis on both African Americans 
and Africa. In a book that makes a good supplement to Mary Dudziak's Cold 
War Civil Rights, he dissects the history of U.S. domestic race relations 
and foreign relations over the past half-century...This book provides new 
insights into the dynamics of American foreign policy and international 
affairs and will undoubtedly be a useful and welcome addition to the 
literature on U.S. foreign policy and race relations. Recommended.
