In the light of recent events indicating the collapse of the Cold War, this collection of essays by a leading authority on American post-war foreign policy has an added relevance and urgency today. Individual essays discuss the American style of diplomacy in the twentieth century, the ambiguous nature of morality in American foreign policy, the role of intelligence and espionage, the `relevance' of nuclear weapons in post-war diplomacy, revisionist essays on John Foster Dulles's and Ronald Reagan's Cold War diplomacy, and several essays dealing with questions involving the end of the Cold War.

What is history, and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft, as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today.Written in the tradition of Marc Bloch and E. H. Carr, The Landscape of History is at once an engaging introduction to the historical method for beginners, a powerful reaffirmation of it for practitioners, a startling challenge to social scientists, and an effective skewering of postmodernist claims that we can't know anything at all about the past. It will be essential reading for anyone who reads, writes, teaches, or cares about history.
