Condemned to Repeat It: 'Lessons of History' and the Making of U.S. Cold War Containment Policy, (Hardcover)

Condemned to Repeat It examines the historical myths that underwrote U.S. containment policy during the Cold War. Anderson argues that the historical record does not support the applicability of "lessons" learned from nineteenth-century great power diplomacy, peacemaking at the end of World War One, the Munich Agreement, and the Yalta Conference.
