Designed to meet the needs of high school and college students,
this one-stop resource features narrative history, analysis,
biographical profiles, key primary documents, and other reference
tools on the Cold War. Based on the latest scholarship, Sibley
provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the Cold War,
which lasted from 1945 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in
1991. Following a historical overview, six essays, organized
topically, examine the key themes that characterized the Cold War:
its origins in the distrust among the World War II allies, the
force of American anti-Communism, Washington's enhanced postwar
global role, the competing objectives of the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in
pursuit of global influence, and the reasons why the Soviet Union
did not survive the Cold War. A timeline of events, glossary of
terms, biographical profiles of major players, and the text of 17
key documents necessary for student research on the Cold War
provide valuable research tools. Following a timeline of events and
narrative historical overview, six topical essays discuss the
origins of the Cold War; McCarthyism and internal security in the
United States; the Cold War in Asia; the Cold War in Latin America,
the Middle East, and Africa; the end of detente and revived hopes
for Soviet-American relations ushered in by Gorbachev, and its
denouement; and the legacies and implications of the Cold War.
Documents include a variety of speeches, excerpts from the memoirs
of leaders on both sides of the Cold War, as well as the text of
key government documents. Each document is preceded by an
explanatory introduction. An annotated bibliography of works
suitable for students, and a selection of photographs enhance the
value of this work.
