Description

In 1949, mounting tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States created an intense distrust between the two nations. This book tells the story of how that rivalry-known as the Cold War-dominated the foreign policies of the time, ultimately leading America into the Korean War and the Vietnam War. It also tells the story of how influential leaders, both black and white, advanced the cause of civil rights. Book jacket.
