Summary
The bibliographical essays in the three volumes of the Cambridge History of the Cold War aim at being selective and critical overviews of the literature available in each subfield of historical investigation. The entries are written by the authors of the chapters in the main text, with additions, deletions, and crossreferences suggested by the editors. Readers may want to look at the bibliographical entries in more than one volume to get an overview of the literature on a particular issue or region.
The Cold War and the international history of the twentieth century
Much source material for researching the Cold War in its various settings is now available in printed form, on microfilm, or electronically. Many foreign ministries and other executive branches of government have published selections of their papers, as have international organizations; a good overview is M. Trachtenberg, The Craft of International History: A Guide to Method (Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univeristy Press, 2006) and its companion website www.sscnet.ucla.edu/polisci/faculty/trachtenberg/guide.
