The Long Peace: Inquiries Into the History of the Cold War
ISBN: 9780195043358 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this fascinating new interpretation of Cold War history, John Lewis Gaddis focuses on how the United States and the Soviet Union have managed to get through more than four decades of Cold War confrontation without going to war with one another.
Using recently-declassified American and British documents, Gaddis argues that the postwar international system has contained previously unsuspected elements of stability. This provocative reassessment of contemporary history--particularly as it relates to the current status of Soviet-American relations--will certainly generate discussion,...

ISBN: 9780195171570 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is history and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft, as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today.

Cold War Statesmen Confront the Bomb: Nuclear Diplomacy Since 1945
ISBN: 9780198294689 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a path-breaking work that uses biographical techniques to test one of the most widely debated questions in international politics: Did the advent of the nuclear bomb prevent the Third World War? The book's authors argue almost unanimously that nuclear weapons did have a significant effect on the thinking of the leading statesmen of the nuclear age, but a dissenting epilogue from John Mueller challenges this thesis.

The Cold War: A New History
ISBN: 9780143038276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The "dean of Cold War historians" (The New York Times) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but why--from the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama, The Cold...

Surprise, Security, and the American Experience
ISBN: 9780674018365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. September 11, 2001, distinguished Cold War historian John Lewis Gaddis argues, was not the first time a surprise attack shattered American assumptions about national security and reshaped American grand strategy. We've been there before, and have responded each time by dramatically expanding our security responsibilities. The pattern began in 1814, when the British attacked Washington, burning the White House and the Capitol. This early violation of homeland security gave rise to a strategy of unilateralism and preemption, best articulated by John Quincy Adams, aimed at maintaining...

The United States and the End of the Cold War: Implications, Reconsiderations, Provocations
ISBN: 9780195085518 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Cold War ended with an exhilarating wave of events: the toppling of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the dissident poet Vaclav Havel, the revolution in Romania. Americans rejoiced at the dramatic conclusion of the long struggle. "But victories in wars--hot or cold--tend to unfocus the mind," writes John Gaddis. "It can be a dangerous thing to have achieved one's objectives, because one then has to decide what to do next." In The United States and the End of the Cold War, Gaddis provides a sharp focus on the long history of the Cold War, shedding new light on its sudden ending, as...
