Cold War - Rivalry, Mistrust, Accord

What is the orthodox x revisionist pairing for the emergance of the cold war?

Orthodox:

Arthur Schlesinger Jr. – Cold War caused by “totalitarian Soviet expansionism.”

Revisionist:

Gabriel Kolko – US pursued hegemony, Marshall Plan a tool of domination.

What did my two fav post revisionists have to say?

John Lewis Gaddis – Cold War “a tragedy, not a crime”; both sides misperceived intentions.

Melvyn Leffler – Clash of security interests: US needed markets, USSR needed buffers.

And the classic global and marxist takes?

Odd Arne Westad – Cold War was global from the outset; Asia (China, Japan) mattered as much as Europe.

E.H. Carr – Soviet actions defensive; US aggression aimed to preserve capitalism.
