A compact overview of the Cold War order
Rupert Colley’s short history traces the Cold War from the aftermath of the Second World War to the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. It frames the period through the growing hostility between the United States and Russia, as former allies became rival superpowers with competing political systems and ideologies. Postwar Europe, the efforts of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin to preserve peace, and the persistent prospect of nuclear conflict form the book’s central historical context. With 100 pages, it presents the era as a concise account of the tensions that shaped international politics under the threat of a wider war.

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
From the end of World War Two to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia and America eyed each other with suspicion and hostility as the world lived in the shadow of the Cold War. As post-war Europe was rebuilt, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin struggled to maintain peace among the former Eastern and Western Allies. Two ideologies, two political systems, two cultures, two superpowers became entrenched in a fight for dominance, each firm in the belief that history would prove them right.
The Cold War: History in an Hour is the concise account of the political tensions that arose as the world rebuilt after World War Two - an era beset by the constant fear of nuclear weapons and the looming threat of a Third World War.
