Covering the development of the Cold War from the mid-twentieth
century to the present day, The Cold War 1949-2016 explores the
struggle for world domination that took place between the United
States and the Soviet Union following the Second World War. The
conflict between these two superpowers shaped global history for
decades, and this book examines how this conflict developed into a
nuclear arms race, spurred much of the wider world towards war and
eventually resulted in the collapse of the Soviet empire. In this
accessible yet comprehensive volume, Martin McCauley examines not
only the actions of the United States and the Soviet Union but also
the effects upon and involvement of other regions such as Africa,
Central America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Key themes
include the Sino-Soviet relationship and the global ambitions of
the newly formed People's Republic of China, the rise and fall of
communism in countries such as Cuba, Angola and Ethiopia, the US
defeat in Vietnam, the gradual unravelling of the Soviet Union and
the changing shape of the post-Cold War world. Providing a
wide-ranging overview of the main turning points of the conflict
and illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this is
essential reading for all students of the Cold War and its lasting
global impact.
