A brilliantly arresting historical work, John Lewis Gaddis's The
Cold War takes us as never before to the time when the world stood
on the brink of destruction. In 1945 war came to an end. But a
whole new terror was only just beginning... Here is the truth
behind every spy thriller you've read: why America and the Soviet
Union became locked in a deadly stalemate; how close we came to
nuclear catastrophe; what was really going on in the minds of
leaders from Stalin to Mao Zedong, Ronald Reagan to Mikhail
Gorbachev, how secret agents plotted and East German holidaymakers
helped the Berlin Wall fall. It is a story of crisis talks and
subterfuge, tyrants and power struggles - and of ordinary people
changing the course of history. 'Gripping' Len Deighton 'Superb ...
brimful of racy incident' Independent on Sunday 'A lively and
readable history' The Times 'Force 9 on the Richter scale'
Spectator John Lewis Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of
History at Yale University, and 'the dean of cold war historians'
(The New York Times). He is the author of numerous books, including
Security and the American Experience, the book recently pressed on
his cabinet and senior security staff by President Bush.
