Descriere

Covers the entire Cold War period from the Yalta Conference of 1945 to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. This book analyzes the Cold War and the various ways that it impacted American life: how it stimulated the economy, was a primary agent of social cohesion (at least until the Vietnam War), and greatly inflated presidential power.
