Dukes contends that the rivalry of the USA and Soviet Union, like the Great Game between Britain and Imperial Russia, can be understood only by analysing their relationship over centuries. He adopts the explanatory model of French historian Fernand Braudel - the concepts of event, conjuncture and structure - and examines the super-power relationship in an historical context stretching back to the medieval period. He argues that the political and cultural gaps between Western and Soviet approaches at key events have stemmed from widely different experiences of these events, as well as from long-embedded traditions."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aHistory and Politics in the 20th Century: Bloomsbury Academic 517 3 $aUnited States of America versus Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 606 $aCold War 606 $2General & world history 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a327.73047 700 $aDukes$b Paul$f1934-$0210489 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798679103321 996 $aThe last great game: USA versus USSR$93730691 997 $aUNINA
