by John Lewis Gaddis

This work offers a history of US policy towards the Soviet Union during and immediately after World War II. It moves beyond the focus of economic considerations and examines instead the many other forces - domestic politics, and bureaucratic inertia - that influenced decision-makers in Washington.
