America’s relationship with its most prominent global rival, from the rise of the Soviet Union to the ongoing tension with Putin’s Russia.

From Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan’s interventions to support the mujahideen fighters against the Soviet Union in the 80s to what is now the longest war in American history, a conflict launched by George W.
