Stalin's American Policy: From Entente to Detente to Cold War

By William Taubman

Book Overview

How and why did the Cold War arise out of wartime entente? Here, in a study focused on Soviet foreign policy from 1941 to 1953, William Taubman describes an intermediate stage of d tente that Stalin abandoned reluctantly only after the Western powers did. Stalin, seen here as cautious and even conservative, viewed America as hostile and devious. His d tente was designed to undermine Western interests.
