Developed from the Modern World History Core Book by Tony McAleavy Superpower Rivalry focuses on the beginning of the Cold War at the end of World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Empire in 1991. It covers the breakdown of the wartime alliance, the Berlin Blockade and the wars which involved the Superpowers, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War. There are sections on The Arms Race, the Cuban Missile Crisis and an account of the fall of the Soviet Empire. The book meets the requirements of the new Modern World History courses. It is particularly suitable for ULEAC and NEAB syllabuses and also useful for MEG and SEG.
