Since their first publication, the four volumes of the Cambridge
History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive
source for the topic, from the colonial period to the Cold War. The
fourth volume explores the conditions in the international system
at the end of World War II, the American determination to provide
leadership, and the security dilemma each superpower posed for the
other. This revised and expanded edition incorporates recent
scholarship and revelations, carrying the narrative through the
years following the end of the Cold War into the administration of
Barack Obama. The author points to the nature of the Stalinist
state, with its secrecy and brutal dictatorship, to explain the
course of the Cold War. The character of the American political
system, including the separation of political powers and the role
of interest groups, prompted American leaders to exaggerate dangers
abroad to enhance their domestic power. The book also provides
insight into Chinese and Soviet actions during the Korean War, the
Taiwan Straits crises of the 1950s, and the Cuban missile crisis.
It explains the rise and fall of detente in the 1970s, describes
how imperial overreach strained both the United States and the
Soviet Union in the 1980s, and reflects on what the Cold War meant
for the world. This new edition also examines the failure of
postwar administrations to provide a workable policy with which to
confront the world after the demise of the Soviet Union.
