It reveals a fascinating yet little-known realm of Cold War intrigue and a delicate diplomatic duet between a smaller state and a superpower amid a time of intense global pressures. Written by scholars in Denmark and the United States, this book explores many compelling topics. What led to the creation of the U.S. Thule Air Base in Greenland, one of the world’s largest, and why did the U.S. build a nuclear-powered city under Greenland’s ice cap? How did Danish concern about sovereignty shape scientific research programs in Greenland? Also explored here: why did Denmark’s most famous scientist, Inge Lehmann, became involved in research in Greenland, and what international reverberations resulted from the crash of a U.S. B-52 bomber carrying four nuclear weapons near Thule in January 1968?. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Cold War; comparative history; Greenland; science and technology; diplomacy; United States; historical geo | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59688-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-59688-8Series ISSN 2730-972X Series E-ISSN 2730-9738 | | issn_series | 2730-972X | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
