Abstract: The central aim of this text is to critically revisit the historiographical debate on the Cold War, focusing on the orthodox and, especially, post-revisionist theses. The aim is to prove the hypothesis that post-revisionism has taken up and deepened the central theses of orthodoxy, becoming a historiographical current essentially limited to the orthodox interpretation of that conflict. Initially, the chapter presents a summary of orthodox historiography on the Cold War, analyzing the interpretation derived from the thought of George Frost Kennan, responsible for the Doctrine for the Containment of Communism. In the second section, the chapter critically analyzes post-revisionist historiography, especially based on the work of historian John Lewis Gaddis, and draws comparisons with the previous historiographical debate.
