The Cold War

Bradley Lightbody here examines the complex arguments which divided East and West following the Second World war, and analyzes its eight major phases from the emergence of the Cold War through the late 1980s.

'The book is mainly aimed at A-Level and undergraduate students and as such it is very successful. It is lively, with many telling quotations to illustreate various points. - Seer'It is evident that Lightbody is up-to-date on the most important recent scholarship on the Cold War ... It can be highly recommended as a text for A-level students and possibly for introductory university courses.' - Journal of Contemporary History
