Krátky popis
A sweeping, original history of the Cold War, from an acclaimed
historian of the USSRWhy did the Cold War erupt so soon after the
Second World War? How did it escalate so rapidly, spanning five
continents over six decades? And what led to the spectacular
collapse of the Soviet Union? In this comprehensive guide to the
most widespread conflict in contemporary history, Vladislav Zubok
traces the origins of the Cold War in post-war Europe, through the
tumultuous decades of confrontation, to the fall of the Berlin Wall
and beyond. With remarkable clarity and unique perspective, Zubok
argues that the Cold War, often seen as an existential battle
between capitalist democracy and totalitarian communism, has long
been misunderstood. He challenges the popular Western narrative
that economic superiority and democratic values led the USA to
victory.Instead, he looks beyond the familiar images of East-West
rivalry, shining a light on the impact of non-Western actors and
placing the war in the context of global decolonization, Soviet
weakness and the accidents of history. Here, he interrogates what
happens when stability and peace are no longer the default, when
treaties are broken and when diplomacy ceases to function. Drawing
on years of research and informed by Zubok’s three decades in the
USSR followed by three decades in the West, The World of the Cold
War paints a striking portrait of a world on the brink.
