> The two most important books published in the 1960s challenging the State Department version of the Cold War were Gar Alperovitz, Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and Potsdam, and David Horowitz, Free World Colossus. The virtue of both books is their emphasis on the enormous strategic power advantage of the US. In sheer power terms, only the US possessed an offensive strategic capability. The Soviet Union was a regional power in a defensive position that did not have either the industrial or military power to confront the US outside of Europe. No history written since then has improved on their analyses.
