Description

"Stalin's Cold War offers a major new interpretation of the Soviet leader's role in the gestation of the Cold War. Based on important new evidence from Soviet, Bulgarian and British archives, the book reveals Stalin's genuine, if inconsistent, efforts to preserve his World War II alliance with the United States and Britain and to encourage a degree of cooperation between communists and democratic parties in Eastern Europe. The book demonstrates Stalin's gradual but inexorable shift to ideological and geopolitical confrontation, driven by the dynamics of international and domestic conflicts and his own brutal urge for control."--Jacket.
