The cold war lasted for more than fifty years and polarized the
world. Rooted in political and ideological disagreements dating
back to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the war emerged from
disputes that intensified in the wake of World War II. In The Cold
War: A History in Documents, Second Edition, Allan M. Winkler
excerpts speeches by Soviet premier Joseph Stalin and British prime
minister Winston Churchill in order to demonstrate the growing
abyss between the two political systems. President Harry S.
Truman's announcement of the existence of a Soviet atomic bomb and
his speech to Congress launching the Truman Doctrine testify to the
gravity of the situation. The complex politics of the Vietnam War
appear in voices of those as divergent as Vietnamese nationalist Ho
Chi Minh, President Lyndon B. Johnson, antiwar protestors, and a
participant in the My Lai massacre. A picture essay, "The Atom
Unleashed," provides a collection of photographs and cartoons
tracing one of the most controversial discoveries of the twentieth
century. And a final chapter chronicles in detail the end of the
cold war.
Uncertain Safari deals with the contours and complexities of African life today. Based on author Allan Winkler's personal experiences living and working in Kenya and traveling to many other parts of the continent, the book focuses primarily on East Africa and concentrates on Kenya in particular. It examines one of the most beautiful, and troubled, parts of Africa through a personal lens, highlighting issues of marriage and divorce, education and AIDS, politics, and evolving traditions. The African story warrants our attention. An examination of Kenya, one of the best-known and most-visited African countries, provides an effective means of exploring issues that affect all Africans. Kenya, traditionally more stable than other African nations, now faces many grave problems as its own stability has begun to erode. This book, based on observations, interviews, and personal reflections, highlights the serious issues behind the seemingly idyllic view millions of visitors witness on safari.

Providing students with a thought-provoking account of America's past, "The American People" examines how American society assumed its present shape and developed its present forms of government. Emphasizing the interaction of ordinary Americans with extraordinary events, the text combines the discussion of political events with analysis of their impact on social and economic life. The comprehensive narrative encompasses description of the lives and experiences of Americans of all national origins and cultural backgrounds, at all class levels of society, and in all regions of the country. The thoughtful analysis seeks the connections among the political, social, economic, technological, and cultural factors that have shaped and reshaped American society over four centuries.
