Chronology of the Cold War 1917-1992 - 1917 1992 (Hardcover)

As the U.S. faces the consequences of its actions during the Cold War in Afghanistan and elsewhere, study of the period becomes more important and timely. More than just a timeline, the "Chronology of the Cold War" is an in-depth chronological narrative organized in sections. Each section carries a clear date and summary heading. The five major sections are:
I. Cold Peace, 1917-1940
II. The Strange Alliance, 1941-1945
III. Containment and De tente, 1946-1975
IV. Confrontation & Conciliation, 1976-1991
V. Epilogue
Based on sections of the "Chronological History of U.S. Foreign Relations" (Routledge 2003), the reference includes significant additional material on Russia, China, arms control, and the Cold War in the developing world. This easy-to-use reference also includes an introductory section reviewing the history leading up to the Cold War from 1917 to 1945, a general bibliography of resources on the Cold War, and is illustrated with photographs from presidential libraries.
The "Chronology of the Cold War" is an essential reference for students, scholars, librarians, researchers, and general readers seeking a straight-forward explanation of particular events regarding the United States, the Soviet Union, and other participants in the Cold War. Also includes 18 maps.
