About the Book
Origins of the Cold War 1941–1949 by Martin McCauley offers a compelling and authoritative analysis of the critical early years of the Cold War—the global ideological and geopolitical conflict that shaped the second half of the 20th century. In this extensively revised and expanded fourth edition, McCauley examines the emergence of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, framing their rivalry within a broader global context that also drew in numerous other nations and resulted in devastating proxy wars.
Written in a clear and accessible style, the book explores the major turning points, key players, and crucial questions that defined this pivotal period: Was the Cold War inevitable? Could it have been avoided? What role did Stalin’s ideology and strategic thinking play in escalating tensions? McCauley delves into these debates with scholarly depth while remaining accessible to readers new to the subject.
This edition includes new material on the culture wars and Stalin's interpretation of Marxism, and it offers updated historical perspectives based on recent research. The book is enhanced with helpful learning tools, including maps, figures, a timeline, and a “Who’s Who” of significant figures from the period.
Review
“Martin McCauley delivers the masterful review of the origins of the Cold War you would expect from such a fine historian... a very nicely framed piece of scholarship.”
— Martin Thornton, University of Leeds, UK
