The book contravenes the notion that a neutral zone of states, including Germany, could have been set up between East and West. The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin was determined to preserve control over its own sphere of German territory. By tracing Stalin's attitude toward neutrality in international politics, the book provides important insights into the origins of the Cold War"--Provided by publisher.Harvard Cold War studies book series.NeutralitySoviet UnionHistoryNeutralityEuropeHistory20th centuryCold WarSoviet UnionForeign relationsEuropeEuropeForeign relationsSoviet UnionSoviet UnionForeign relations1945-1991Electronic books.NeutralityHistory.NeutralityHistoryCold War.327.1Ruggenthaler Peter1976-948970MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461449003321The concept of neutrality in Stalin's foreign policy, 1945-19532221076UNINA
