Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-97458-3 (ISBN)
Now in its sixth edition, Origins of the Cold War 1941–1949 offers a new perspective on the momentous conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States, covering the tumultuous years of 1941 to 1949.
Adopting an internationalist approach, McCauley builds on the fifth edition by tracing the evolution of the post-imperial world after 1945. Chapters have been updated and expanded to include analyses of countries such as India, Pakistan and Malaya and an exciting discussion of the new Cold War history, which seeks to understand the mistakes and misperceptions of the Western allies. Moreover, this sixth edition offers readers insight into how Stalin ruled, with additional chapters delving into state secrecy and the books in Stalin’s library.
Combining the latest scholarship with accessible primary sources, Origins of the Cold War 1941–1949 stands as a valuable introduction to a fascinating period and will be useful to scholars and students of modern global history and international affairs.
Martin McCauley is a prolific author and broadcaster who has had a wealth of experience in Russian and international affairs. He taught at the University of London for over 30 years and his recent publications include Stalin and Stalinism (3rd edition, 2018) and The Cold War 1949–2016 (2017).
