After a devastating world war, culminating in the obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it was clear that the US and the Soviet Union had to establish a cooperative order if the planet was to escape an atomic World War III. This text shows how the atomic bomb pushed the countries not toward cooperation but toward deep bipolar confrontation.
