After The Cold War

Lerche Jr, Charles O. | June 6, 1966 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on relationships between the U.S. and Soviet Union, after the cold war. There will always be a significant residuum of conflict between Moscow and Washington, no matter how deeply the cold war itself may be buried. Great powers with world-wide interests and lofty ambitions are never going to agree on everything. But it will be conflict "in the grand manner," marked less by ideological thunderbolts and war scares than by the bit-by-bit accumulation of small advantages that is historically the norm of international relations. Both sides have already accepted the crucial major premise: neither attempts any longer to force on the other the stark choice between surrender and total war.
