Cold War is the story of the half-century since the end of the
Second World War - the story of our lives. Its framework is the
confrontation, military and ideological, between two great powers
that dominated the world during these years. It is a story of
crises and conflict on a global scale: from the Berlin Blockade and
the Cuban Missile Crisis, to the tanks in the streets of Warsaw,
Budapest and Prague, to spies, student riots and encounters in
space. In Cold War, Jeremy Isaacs and Taylor Downing record epic
history through the detail of individual human experience: the
recollections not only of statesmen whose decisions led to these
momentous events, but also of the ordinary men and women whose
lives were bound up in these years of conflict. Cold War is the
first comprehensive history for the general reader to benefit from
the recent opening of Soviet, East European and Chinese archives as
well as formerly classified American documents. In a driving
narrative that it both gripping and informative, the true story of
the Cold War can at last be told.
