This comprehensive collection of carefully edited
documents-speeches, treaties, statements, and articles-traces the
rise and fall of the Cold War. The sources follow the Cold War from
its roots in East-West tensions at the end of World War II to the
collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Set in historical context by
the editors' concise introductions and followed by thoughtful
discussion questions, the documents are arranged in chronological
order, starting with the Yalta Conference and ending with
Gorbachev's resignation speech. Drawing on selections from a
variety of countries and leaders involved in this prolonged global
struggle, the editors treat the entire Cold War as an era in world
history, not just U.S. history. Their judicious selection makes the
great events of the time come alive through the words and phrases
of those who were actively involved.
This comprehensive text provides a balanced survey of the Cold War
in a genuinely global framework. Presenting not only Soviet and
Western perspectives, but also the outlooks of peoples and leaders
throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, Edward
H. Judge and John W. Langdon offer in-depth treatment of
imperialism, anti-imperialism, decolonization, national liberation
struggles, and their Cold War connections. The authors explore the
background and context for all major developments during the era,
as well as capsule biographies and character analyses of key
figures. Tracing the Cold War from its roots in East-West tensions
before and during World War II through its origins in the immediate
postwar era, the book concludes with the Cold War's legacy, which
continues today. Written in a clear and lively style, this
compelling text will bring the era to life for readers who didn't
experience its dramas and crises directly.
