Covering the period 1945-90, The Cold War looks at the origins of tension between the USA and the USSR and the crisis points which led, or nearly led, to conflict. The Sino-Soviet dispute is also included. Bringing its coverage up to date, the book also examines Detente, the impact of President Gorbachev's policies and the end of the Cold War. In addition, there are chapters on the role of international organisations, the Vietnam War and, largely through pictorial sources, the propaganda presentation of the Cold War.
