Overview

This is an elegant and concise history of American foreign relations during
the Cold War era, based on the most recent American, Chinese, and Soviet
literature, written from a post-Cold War perspective. All of the major foreign
policy issues, including the origins of the Soviet-American conflict; the
extension of the confrontation to Asia, the Middle East, and elsewhere on the
periphery; wars in Korea and Vietnam; crises involving the Taiwan Straits,
Berlin, and Cuba; the rise and fall of détente; imperial overreach; and the
critical roles of Reagan and Gorbachev in the 1980s are carefully analysed and
clearly explained.
