Description

Trace the dramatic transformation of US-Soviet relations across two decades in this authoritative historical account by Louis Sell, a veteran US Foreign Service officer. Beginning with the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks accords of 1972-when the Soviet Union achieved military parity with the United States-this book examines the geopolitical forces and decisions that led to the USSR's unexpected collapse before 1991. Drawing extensively on archival sources and memoirs, many newly translated from Russian, Sell provides unprecedented insight into Cold War diplomacy and the international events that reshaped the global order. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how the superpower rivalry ended and why experts failed to predict the Soviet Union's disintegration during their own lifetimes.

Key Features

Authored by Louis Sell, an experienced US Foreign Service officer with direct knowledge of diplomatic operations during the Cold War era.

Covers the critical two-decade period from the 1972 Strategic Arms Limitation Talks through the 1991 Soviet collapse with comprehensive historical analysis.

Incorporates extensive archival sources and memoirs, including previously untranslated Russian-language documents and first-hand accounts.

Explains the geopolitical mechanisms behind the Cold War's abrupt termination, challenging earlier expert predictions about Soviet stability.

Published by Duke University Press, a leading academic press specialising in rigorous historical scholarship and Cold War studies.
