Stretching from the end of World War II to 1989, the Cold War
between the Western powers and the Communist bloc shaped national
alliances around the world. In 15 chapters, the "Almanac"treats the
historic causes of the tension; the mutual suspicions that fueled
the conflict for more than 40 years; the ideological clash between
communism and democracy; and the policies that marked the long
standoff -- the Marshall Plan, Truman's Point Four program, the
nuclear arms race, economic aid, the Berlin Wall, detente; and much
more. Also covered are the times when the Cold War burst into armed
conflict in such areas as Korea, Cuba and Southeast Asia.
