The War Atlas: Armed Conflict - Armed Peace is a landmark reference atlas published in 1983 that maps the state of the international military order. Using forty full-colour cartographic maps and data-rich infographics, it surveys the global arms trade, the economics of warfare, the involvement of superpowers in regional conflicts, nuclear preparedness, civil wars, and the anti-war movement as it stood at the height of the Cold War. A Pluto Press project written by Michael Kidron and Dan Smith, it presents a graphic picture of contemporary conflict and its human consequences. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in modern military history, geopolitics, or Cold War-era international relations.
