Stalin and the Cold War in Europe - The Emergence and Development of East-West Conflict, 1939-1953

Informationen zum Autor Gerhard Wettig is an external research associate at the Institute of Contemporary History, Munich/Berlin. Klappentext This intriguing book, based on recently accessible Soviet primary sources, is the first to explain the emergence of the Cold War and its development in Stalin's lifetime from the perspective of Soviet policy-making. It pays particular attention to the often-neglected "societal" dimension of Soviet foreign policy as a crucial element of the genesis and development of the Cold War. Gerhard Wettig provides readers with new insights into Stalin's willingness to initiate crisis with the West while still avoiding military conflict.
