The Cold War 1949-2016 (Third edition.)

Covering the development of the Cold War from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, this book explores the struggle for world domination that took place between the United States and the Soviet Union following the Second World War.

The conflict between these two superpowers shaped global history for decades, and this book examines how this conflict developed into a nuclear arms race, spurred much of the wider world towards war and eventually resulted in the collapse of the Soviet empire.
