2.0 out of 5 stars Unrepentant revisionist`s version of the Cold War, August 27, 2007
This review is from: America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945-2002, Updated: Updated (Paperback)
Walter LaFeber is a product of the Wisconsin University`s radical left history department. The uninitiated should read John E. Hayes'
"In Denial". Despite evidence to the contrary, LaFeber foists the guilt of the origins of the Cold War upon the United State`s "imperialism" and minimizes Stalin`s complicity. There are many more unbiased books available on this to read.
