Argues that Western interpretations of the Cold War have erred by exaggerating either the Kremlin's pragmatism or its aggressiveness. Explaining the interests, aspirations, illusions, fears, and misperceptions of the Kremlin leaders and Soviet elites, this book covers the Cold War from the Soviet side.
This book features the Cold War from the Soviet side. In this widely praised book, Vladislav Zubok argues that Western interpretations of the Cold War have erred by exaggerating either the Kremlin''s pragmatism or its aggressiveness. Explaining the interests, aspirations, illusions, fears, and misperceptions of the Kremlin leaders and Soviet elites, Zubok offers the first work in English to cover the entire Cold War from the Soviet side. ""A Failed Empire"" provides a history quite different from those written by the Western victors. In a new preface for this edition, the author adds to our understanding of today''s events in Russia, including who the new players are and how their policies will affect the state of the world in the twenty-first century.
