Recent Asian American fiction revisits the sites of the global Cold War and so triangulates the conflict by including the perspective of Asian America. This is shown on the example of two contemporary Korean American authors, Susan Choi (_The Foreign Student_) and Chang-rae Lee (_The Surrendered_), whose works reference some episodes of the Cold War ; notably, the Korean War. In the process a suppressed history emerges that casts a new light on American Cold War history.
