Book synopsis

For half of the 20th century, the Cold War gripped the world. International relations everywhere - and domestic policy in scores of nations - pivoted around this central point. Even today, much of the world's diplomacy grapples with the chaos created by the Cold War's sudden "disappearance". This volume offers a history of the century's longest struggle. The author argues that the roots of the conflict are centuries old, going back to Tsarist Russia and to the very infancy of the American nation. He shows that both Russia and America were expansionist nations with messianic complexes, and the people of both nations believed they possessed a unique mission in history. This book is intended for scholars and students of Cold War history
