They offer accessible introductory surveys of world history in the postwar era. The Cold War is an account of East, West Relations from l945-1991 exploring the causes and consequences of the biopolarisation of international politics the western powers and the Soviet bloc. It begins with the domestic background of both the USSR and the USA, through to the post war transition, Korea, the Khruschev years. Vietnam, the fluctuations of detente in the 1960's and 70's, Gorbachev and the Soviet collapse. Looks at communism in post war Europe and concludes with general perspectives in the cold war.

The wider picture of the impact of the Cold War on the rest of the world is largely stated in Volume Two.
