The Cold War dominated the world political arena for forty-five
years. Focusing on the international system and on events in all
parts of the globe, Melvyn P. Leffler and David S. Painter have
brought together a truly international collection of articles that
provide a fresh and comprehensive analysis of the origins of the
Cold War.
Moving beyond earlier controversies, this edited collection focuses
on the interaction between geopolitics and threat perception,
technology and strategy, ideology and social reconstruction,
national economic reform and patterns of international trade, and
decolonization and national liberation. The editors also consider
how and why the Cold War spread from Europe to Asia, Africa, the
Middle East and Latin America and how groups, classes and elites
used the Cold War to further their own interests.
This second edition brings the collection right up to date,
including the newest research from the Communist side of the Cold
War and the most recent debates on culture, race and intelligence.
Also included is a completely new section dealing with the Cold War
crises in Iran, Turkey and Greece and a guide to further reading.
