  The conflict between Russia and America shaped the world for over four decades. Both were universalist powers – they wanted every country in the world to copy their model of government and economy. They could not rest until the other side had been vanquished, and until the mid-1980s this included the prospect of nuclear war. This revised second edition of the best-selling book is essential reading for all students of twentieth century history.

SEMINAR STUDIES IN HISTORY
General Editors: Clive Emsley & Gordon Martel

�Seminar Studies in History...provide a means of bridging the gap between specialist articles and monographs and textbooks. They are written by acknowledged experts on the subject who are not only familiar with current thinking but have often contributed to it. Their format, well-tried and effective, combines information, analysis and assessment effectively. The selections of documents, included from the outset of the series when document work was hardly in vogue in schools, not merely illustrates points made in the text but provides an effective medium for discussion on the issues raised. The further reading guide has stimulated countless students to take their interests further. The structure of the series may not have changed through time but the format has, with attractive four-colour covers and larger pages....Seminar Studies are still, despite all the opposition, a market leader.�
Teaching History
__________________________________________________________________________


This is the successor volume to Martin McCauley�s best-selling Origins of the Cold War, 1941-1949 (Second Edition, 1995). In this latest book, based on new archival material, Dr McCauley tracks US/Soviet relations through the troubled years of the Cold War when mutual suspicion, misunderstanding, fear, aggression and miscalculation mingled to produce a potent mix which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. What comes across most vividly in this fresh analysis is how the Cold War embraced the whole world, as the two superpowers vied with one another in the Middle East, South-East Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.

Martin McCauley begins his account with the Berlin Blockade in 1948-49 and takes the story through to the collapse of the Soviet empire in 1991. Using a chronological framework he sets all the events of the Cold War period into their full global context: taking in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Hungarian Revolution, the Cuban crisis, Afghanistan, and, finally, the unification of Germany and the events of the late 1980s. Throughout, he charts the progress of the arms race.

In the Assessment Section the author addresses a number of specific questions: for example, was the growth of nuclear arsenals inevitable? Was the US an imperialist power? And, why did the Cold War end? The main text is supplemented by a fascinating selection of primary documents, a chronology of events, and two maps. There is no doubt that this concise introduction to such a huge topic will be greatly welcomed by students getting to grips with the Cold War for the first time.
