Science during the Cold War has become a matter of lively interest within the historical research community, attracting the attention of scholars concerned with the history of science, the Cold War, and environmental history. The Arctic - recognized as a frontier of confrontation between the superpowers, and consequently central to the Cold War - has also attracted much attention. This edited collection speaks to this dual interest, by providing innovative and authoritative analyses of the history of Arctic science during the Cold War.
