About this title

Book Description:

Based on the most recent American, Chinese, and Soviet literature, and written from a post-Cold War perspective, this volume spans the origins of Soviet-American conflict in 1945 through the crises of 1991, including all of the major Cold War foreign policy issues.

From the Back Cover:

'Happily the new, four-volume book provides an opportunity to scan the past two centuries for indications of the shape of foreign policy in the post-Cold War world. Each of the four books stands on its own. Each offers a clear overview of a particular period written by a distinguished historian drawing on considerable body of research, itself the product of decades of scholarly endeavor. None is simply a chronicle of events.'- World Policy Journal
