The decisions of these men, for better and often for worse, had profound consequences for decades to come, influencing relations and conflicts with China, Korea, in the Middle East, and around the globe. This book is a penetrating look at the misjudgments that caused enormous strife and suffering during this critical period, from the closing months of World War II through the early years of the Cold War. The men who led the world at this time executed astonishingly unwise actions that propelled the nuclear arms race and extended the Cold War. Dallek has written a cautionary tale that considers what might have been done differently.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1945-1955. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Peace. 650 0 $a Cold War. 941 $a 15 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724065951.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040535.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430013906.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722025140.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204041621.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110023827.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717021426.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720035453.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180717033506.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20161202011937.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825073922.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20131219024532.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20110512012038.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20101202065710.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20101106041707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA84E836DE6A11DF9C83A1F56AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
