Now in its fifth edition, Origins of the Cold War 1941-1949 covers
the formative years of the momentous struggle that developed
between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.
This accessible text explains how the Cold War originated and
developed between 1941 and 1949 and involved the entire globe, with
proxy wars being fought much to the detriment of the developing
world. The fifth edition is revised, updated and expanded to
include new material on topics such as the efforts of the Soviet
Union, the UK and France to prevent the outbreak of World War II;
the reasons behind the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact; atomic diplomacy
and the role played by Soviet spies in the West; the culture wars
and propaganda; Churchill's efforts to entice the US into the war
against Germany; the role of Hollywood in promoting intervention;
the US's insouciance concerning the danger of a Japanese attack;
the astonishing success of the Soviet Union in recruiting high
level American officials to provide invaluable information on
politics, science, engineering and avionics; and more.
Incorporating the most recent scholarship, Martin McCauley provides
students with an invaluable introduction to a fascinating period
that shaped today's world. The book is an important staple for
courses on modern global history and international affairs.
