This innovative treatment of the Kitchen Debate reveals the event not only as a symbol of U.S. -Soviet military and diplomatic rivalry but as a battle over living standards that profoundly shaped the economic; social; and cultural contours of the Cold War era. The introduction situates the Debate in a survey of the Cold War; and an unprecedented collection of primary-source selections—including Soviet accounts never before translated for an English-speaking audience—connects the Debate to consumer society; gender ideologies; and geopolitics. Document headnotes; a chronology; questions to consider; and a bibliography enhance students’ understanding of this defining moment of the Cold War.
