The result is a telling account of the fifty-year war that shaped our world.

The book is illustrated and includes a selection of primary sources.

by Joseph A. TainterAny explanation of political collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all complex societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses.
The Collapse of the Soviet Union, 1985-1991
by David R. MarplesMarples (history, U. of Alberta, Canada) rejects the Cold War explanation for the collapse of the Soviet Union, as well as the economic collapse from within theory, albeit more tentatively. Instead, he suggests, the rise of the nationalities question lies at the heart of a convincing explanation for the collapse, combined with the related political competition between Soviet Premier Gorbachev and Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
