Description

To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power

Sergey Radchenko provides a panoramic new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, exploring the psychology of the Soviet decision-making and the tensions that drove their struggle with the United States and China.

The book reveals how these tensions shaped Soviet policies from Stalin's scramble for territory to Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow's claims to greatness, driven by perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and a desire for recognition.
