Origins of the Cold War

CAROLINE KENNEDY-PIPE is Professor of International Relations and War Studies at the University of Warwick.

'A fascinating exploration of how the cold war past continues to shape thinking about the contemporary world. As Caroline Kennedy-Pipe shows, cold war mentalities live on in the post-9/11 era - and to dangerous and devastating effect. An effective combination of History and International Relations, this book is illuminating and thought-provoking about the past and present shapes of world politics.' - Professor Geoffrey Roberts, University College Cork, Republic of Ireland 'A useful overview of the history of the Cold War, and a worthy contribution to Cold War studies.' - Europe-Asia Studies 'Certain to spark debate, this book should find its way on to college reading lists. It is brief, timely, well organised and goes beyond simply the recounting of a very complex period.' - Michael H. Creswell, Political Studies Review
