Description - The New York Times Twentieth Century in Review by Francis Gavin

The New York Times has long been noted for its coverage of the Cold War, both for the depth of its reporting and the influence of its commentary. Drawing on this extensive body of material, The Cold War presents an incisive compilation of more than 500 articles and 100 illustrations that trace the major developments in one of the most significant ideological struggles of the 20th century. The Cold War first illuminates the origins of the East-West conflict through the two World Wars and then moves on to the growing tensions of the post-war period, the great crises of the 1950s and 1960s, and the eras of detente and glasnost. Looking beyond the milestones of the Cold War, this unique reference compilation reveals the governmental policies that determined the direction of this complex conflict as it was waged on military, political, economic and cultural fronts.
