Thompson offers a broad yet specific account of its history and its historians.  Thompson's aim is to find the best framework for understanding how the Cold War originated, what forces and factors produced it, how Soviet and American policies intensified the conflict, and what alternatives were open to the rivals.  He evenhandedly sets forth three competing theories of the Cold War--the orthodox, revisionist, and critical\/interpretative views--and reveals how the ideological confines of certain interpretations have made for limited understanding and sometimes mistaken responses.  Thompson shows that especially orthodox and revisionist historians are misled by their exaggerated estimates of intentions, interests, and national capacity.  The book follows the course of the Cold War from the end of World War II and American demobilization through the war in Korea.  Tracing the influence of theories on policy makers, Thompson finds missed opportunities and unintentional acts of belligerence in recurrent periods of tension, as in the debates over Poland, Iran, the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the Berlin Blockade.  Yet compared with later periods in the Cold War, the author contends, this was a golden age in American foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52668209955183,"sku":"9780807117446","price":174.36,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0807117447.jpg?v=1770928365"},{"product_id":"peace-versus-justice","title":"Peace versus Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the costs and benefits of ending the fighting in a range of conflicts, and probes the reasons why negotiators provide, or fail to provide, resolutions that go beyond just 'stopping the shooting.' A wide range of case studies is marshaled to explore relevant peacemaking situations, from the end of the Thirty Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars, to more recent settlements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries-including large scale conflicts like the end of WWII and smaller scale, sometimes internal conflicts like those in Cyprus, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Mozambique.

David M. Barrett reveals, however, that during the agency's first fifteen years, Congress often monitored the CIA's actions and plans, sometimes aggressively.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrawing on a wealth of newly declassified documents, research at some two dozen archives, and interviews with former officials, Barrett provides an unprecedented and often colorful account of relations between American spymasters and Capitol Hill. He chronicles the CIA's dealings with senior legislators who were haunted by memories of our intelligence failure at Pearl Harbor and yet riddled with fears that such an organization might morph into an American Gestapo. He focuses in particular on the efforts of Congress to monitor, finance, and control the agency's activities from the creation of the national security state in 1947 through the planning for the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlong the way, Barrett highlights how Congress criticized the agency for failing to predict the first Soviet atomic test, the startling appearance of Sputnik over American air space, and the overthrow of Iraq's pro-American government in 1958. He also explores how Congress viewed the CIA's handling of Senator McCarthy's charges of communist infiltration, the crisis created by the downing of a U-2 spy plane, and President Eisenhower's complaint that Congress meddled too much in CIA matters. Ironically, as Barrett shows, Congress itself often pushed the agency to expand its covert operations against other nations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe CIA and Congress\u003c\/em\u003e provides a much-needed historical perspective for current debates in Congress and beyond concerning the agency's recent failures and ultimate fate.
