It attempts to understand what precisely were the roots of the Cold War and an analysis of the later relationship in the light of the Soviet Union's evolution since the Revolution. It argues that American policy was shaped not only by the external threat from the USSR but also by internal forces within American society, domestic politics, economic interests, emotional and psychological attitudes and images of the Soviet Union.
