Product Information
This is the most comprehensive history to date of the Truman administration's progressive embroilment in the Cold War. 'A major historical work that will be the standard point of reference on the United States and Cold War ...This is the most comprehensive, perceptive and global account.' Adrian Bailey, The Times Higher Education Supplement 'A monumental study ...No book on the subject has been more eagerly awaited and none so fulsomely praised since publication. It is easy to see why. It is scholarly (massively so), panoramic, and at all times interesting. It also contains a number of crucial insights ...A wonderful book - the best yet on US foreign policy in the early Cold War years.' Michael Cox, International Affairs - Co-Winner of the 1993 Bancroft PrizeProduct Identifiers
