The Superpowers traces the development of the USA and Russia from 1898 through to 2000, placing the Cold War, from inception to ending, into the wider social, economic and political context.

The Superpowers explores the intertwining history of the two powers chronologically and includes discussion of:
-- the inheritance of the two great powers and their imperial background
-- World War One and the Russian Revolution
-- Capitalism and Socialism
-- World War Two and its impact

This is the first history of the two major participants and their relationship throughout the twentieth century.
