A Constructed Peace: The Making of the European Settlement, 1945-1963
ISBN: 9780691002736 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. People still think of the Cold War as a simple two-sided conflict, a kind of gigantic arm wrestle on a global scale," writes Marc Trachtenberg, "but this view fails to grasp the essence of what was really going on." America and Russia were both willing to live with the status quo in Europe. What then could have generated the kind of conflict that might have led to a nuclear holocaust? This is the great puzzle of the Cold War, and in this book, the product of nearly twenty years of work, Trachtenberg tries to solve it. The answer, he says, has to do with the German question,...

History and Strategy
ISBN: 9780691023434 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work is a powerful demonstration of how historical analysis can be brought to bear on the study of strategic issues, and, conversely, how strategic thinking can help drive historical research.
