This book is a historical reinterpretation of the Cold War in the
broadest sense from the viewpoint of the late 1980s. Dukes contends
that the rivalry of the USA and Soviet Union, like the Great Game
between Britain and Imperial Russia, can be understood only by
analysing their relationship over centuries. He adopts the
explanatory model of French historian Fernand Braudel - the
concepts of event, conjuncture and structure - and examines the
super-power relationship in an historical context stretching back
to the medieval period. He argues that the political and cultural
gaps between Western and Soviet approaches at key events have
stemmed from widely different experiences of these events, as well
as from long-embedded traditions.
