This Historical Dictionary of U.S. Diplomacy during the Cold War
offers readers a comprehensive, accessible survey of the principal
actors and events involved in the making of United States foreign
policy during a crucial period in the nation's history. The Cold
War saw the United States acquire superpower status, and to be
closely involved in events around the globe. Foreign policy became
a central issue in domestic politics. The confrontations with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its allies and satellites,
and with the forces of international communism dominated U.S.
interactions with the world throughout this period. This book
covers this turbulent period through a chronology, an introductory
essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary
section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on key persons,
policies, events, institutions, and organizations, along with
issues such as the division of Germany after World War II, the
creation of the People's Republic of China, European economic
recovery, communist movements in the third worlds, decolonization,
the Vietnam War, and the nuclear arms race. This book is an
excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about U.S. diplomacy during the cold war.
