'The Cold War' series tells the compelling story of the dangerous rivalry between two opposing superpowers - the USA and the USSR - and their respective allies. The period of the Cold War - the mid-1940s to the 1980s - was tainted by intrigue, suspicion and power games that threatened on occasion to engulf the whole human race in nuclear holocaust.
This book offers a lucid analysis of why the Cold War began, exploring US-Soviet rivalry and the hostility stemming from their incompatible ideologies of liberal democracy and communism. It gives a clear account of East-West antagonism from the falling of the Iron Curtain to the end of the Korean War.
