Lemnitzer Center for NATO Studies at Kent State University, provide an overview of U.S.-Soviet competition in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

They also focus on the regional reactions in the Third World to East-West confrontation in general and to particular alliance policies. With the Third World's potential for instability reminiscent of the Balkans before 1914, the issues addressed in these essays deserve greater attention from both policymakers and the informed public."- dj Includes bibliographical references and index.
