Religion and the Cold War, edited by Dianne Kirby and published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2003, is a peer-reviewed edited scholarly volume examining how religious institutions and rhetoric were mobilized on both sides of the Cold War, from American civil religion to Soviet religious policy. Its strength is that it is an academic collection bringing together specialists on different national and religious contexts within a single volume. Its limit is that, as an edited collection, its depth and argument vary chapter by chapter, so a claim about one specific country's religious Cold War policy should be checked against the chapter addressing that country rather than the volume's general framing.
