Description

Now available in a fully revised and updated third edition, The Cold War: A Post-Cold War History offers an authoritative and accessible introduction to the history and enduring legacy of the Cold War.

Thoroughly updated in light of new scholarship, this edition includes revised sections on President Nixon’s policies in Vietnam and President Reagan’s approach to U.S.-Soviet relations.

It features six all-new "counterparts" sections that juxtapose important historical figures to illustrate the contrasting viewpoints that characterised the Cold War.

The book argues that the success of Western capitalism during the Cold War laid the groundwork for the economic globalisation and political democratisation that have defined the 21st century.

Additionally, the book includes extended coverage of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the most dangerous confrontation of the nuclear age thus far.
