Böcker av Caroline Kennedy-Pipe

Based on a wide range of sources, including Russian materials that have become available since the end of the Cold War, this work differs from many standard accounts in its emphasis of the factional nature of decision-making over external strategies and its description of competing strains in Soviet thinking about the outside world.

A lively and accessible new introduction to the origins and emergence of the Cold War. Caroline Kennedy-Pipe brings to life the clashes of ideas and personalities that led Russia and America into decades of conflict and draws out important lessons for policy and analysis in today's equally formative period in world affairs.

This text looks at the roots of the struggle in Northern Ireland and of British intervention, setting both in the longer perspective of the Anglo-Irish troubles. The book seeks to place the use of the army within the wider British context of dealing with political violence.
