America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945-1996 by Walter LaFeber.
For the eighth edition, changes and additions have been made in nearly every section of the book... New materials from Russian and Chinese archives have become available especially to supplement the section covering 1945-1953. Recently published memoirs and declassified documents have also allowed a rewriting of some events in the 1950s, the Lyndon Johnson presidency, and the Reagan presidential years.
The final chapter, on post-1989 to the present, has been extensively rewritten and updated, while the bibliography includes newly published work....
The first edition of this book argued that U.S. foreign and domestic policies were linked, and that the latter usually shaped the former....
This thesis is now reemphasized. The other change is more focus on Soviet-Russian developments, in part so that the book will be truer to its title.... Russia is again emerging as the nation posing the most important challenges to the United States.
