Covering the development of the Cold War from mid-twentieth century to the present day, The Cold War 1949-2016 explores the struggle for world domination that took place between the United States and the Soviet Union following the Second World War. Key themes include the Sino-Soviet relationship and the global ambitions of the newly-formed People's Republic of China, the rise and fall of communism in countries such as Cuba, Angola, and Ethiopia, the US defeat in Vietnam, the gradual unravelling of the Soviet Union and the changing shape of the post-Cold War world.Providing a wide-ranging overview of the main turning points of the conflict and illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this is essential reading for all students of the Cold War and its lasting global impact.
