    Book Description

    Origins of the Cold War, Third Edition covers the formative years of the extraordinary struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States, explaining how the cold war originated and developed. It sets out the various different explanations for the Cold War and unravels some of the complex issues which gave rise to it. Explores several questions, including, who was responsible for the Cold War, was it inevitable or could the whole episode have been avoided, and was Stalin genuinely interested in a post-war agreement? Revised, updated and expanded, this new edition in the Seminar Studies in History Series incorporates the most recent scholarship, theories and newly released information to provide an invaluable introduction. For readers interested in the World since 1945 and International relations during the Cold War period.

    1 out of 5 stars Dull.......2003-09-23

    I bought this book recently along with some other McCauley titles, and this is the Cherry on the Sundae. It was much shorter than I expected, but repeats the paranoid anti-Soviet, Russophobic mantra of the other McCauley volumes.

    This was the most boring of them, though. I admit to only having had the endurance of reading half the book.

    2 out of 5 stars Informative but dull.......2003-05-27

    This book is very thorough--it covers every perspective and is fairly objective. However, it is very difficult to sit and read through. My attention was very easily diverted and after I finished, I couldn't remember it well enough to write my essays.
