For over forty years much of the world was held captive by a
conflict between two wholly incompatible economic ideologies -
capitalism and communism - and the two primary superpower countries
who practiced them, the United States and the Soviet Union. Written
in accessible language for readers with little or no previous
knowledge about the subject, this work is first a general history
of the Cold War, with an overview of its root causes and the
policies and theories that were in place from 1947 through 1990. A
thoroughly annotated chronology of important Cold War events
follows. Short biographies of some of the major United States'
political figures and world leaders conclude the work.
