More DescriptionThis exciting and fast-moving narrative covers the period between the end of World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union. a volatile era, it was marked by a series of confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union and their various allies and satellites. Its key factors were an escalating arms race, the competition to conquer space, a dangerously belligerent form of diplomacy known as brinksmanship, and a series of small wars sometimes called police actions by the United States, and sometimes excused as defense measures by the Soviets.
