Including extensive, balanced information, keen insights, and
helpful research tools, this book provides a valuable resource for
students or general readers interested in American policy,
diplomacy, and conduct during the Cold War. The Cold War not only
comprised the dominant theme in American foreign policy during the
second half of the 20th century; its influence was also imbedded
into American culture. The half-century duration of the Cold War
was an extended learning period during which the United States
found that it could no longer remain an isolationist nation in a
complex, quickly evolving, and dangerous world. This book covers
the entire scope of the Cold War, from its background and origins
before and after World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union
on December 25, 1991, providing coverage of key events and
concepts, such as the containment policy, McCarthyism, the Cuban
Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, detente, and nuclear arms
policies. The single-volume work also provides an annotated
bibliography, primary documents, and biographies of key
personalities during the Cold War, such as John Foster Dulles, J.
Edgar Hoover, George F. Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Edward R. Murrow,
and Ronald Reagan. Provides a solid introduction to the Cold War
era that incorporates information from the latest scholarship
Documents the myriad impacts, both obvious and subtle, of the Cold
War on American culture Supplies a thorough annotated bibliography
