The author characterizes this book as a "docu-story." As such, it
is an exceptionally well-researched and skillfully written
chronology of the history of Russia, the Soviet Union and the cold
War. The work is unusual and unique. It is unusual because unlike
most books of an historical nature, it is free-flowing and not
tightly structured. It is unique because it is written with
considerable input from the author's personal experiences
interwoven with perceptions and anecdotal observations. The work is
Assertive: ""I have no doubt that there was Cold War. I fought in
it."" (The Author); Candid: " "Stalin is an unconscionable
dictator, but I liked the little son-of-a-bitch."" (Truman);
Provocative: " "Truman is worthless."" (Stalin); and Challenging:
""Why not set a goal, just between the two of us; let's find a
practical way to solve our critical issues."" (Reagan) and ""we can
set a specific agenda for how to straighten-out Soviet-American
relations."" (Gorbachev). Finally, it is Cautionary: " "The world
has become in many respects a safer place, unfortunately, it is
also still a dangerous place, fraught with uncertainty.""
(Commander-in-Chief, US Strategic Command) and: ""The missile force
is in the same state of readiness as ten years ago. My men and my
missiles are always ready."" (General of the Army, Igor Sergeyev,
Republic of Russia.)
