Cold War

Excellent review of a very interesting time period. More of a textbook-but that is a good thing.

As a history buff, I was glad to receive this as a gift. I can say that it lived up to my hopes and was a truly great work - well researched and assembled in a creative way that conveys the history, passion, danger, and intrigue of that era.

Great Job

Really cool book. It takes the World Wars and traces world history, and the development of the communism and socialism on how it created the cold war. “Mr. Gorbachev Tear Down This Wall”.

Not a bad book, but rather more analytic than informational. If you're after an understanding of the causes of the cold war it's great. But the history in it is nothing that new.
