Cold War and Soviet Insecurity; The Stalin Years

In this long-awaited sequel to his acclaimed RUSSIA'S ROAD TO THE COLD WAR, Vojtech Mastny offers a masterful history of the birth of the Cold War, drawing on extensive research in newly opened Soviet archives. The earlier volume provided a definitive portrait of Stalin's foreign policy during World War II. Now, Mastny offers an equally superb account of Stalin's foreign policy during his last years.
