Synopsis:

In the light of recent events indicating the collapse of the Cold War, this collection of essays by a leading authority on American post-war foreign policy has an added relevance and urgency today. Individual essays discuss the American style of diplomacy in the twentieth century, the ambiguous nature of morality in American foreign policy, the role of intelligence and espionage, the `relevance' of nuclear weapons in post-war diplomacy, revisionist essays on John Foster Dulles's and Ronald Reagan's Cold War diplomacy, and several essays dealing with questions involving the end of the Cold War.

About the Author: John Gaddis is the author of several books including The Long Peace: Inquiries into the History of the Cold War (OUP NY, 1989), Strategies of Containment: Critical Appraisal of Postwar American National Security Policy (OUP NY, 1983), and Russia, the Soviet Union and the United States: An Interpretive History (McGraw, 1990). He lives in Ohio, USA.
