“Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written.” —
The Boston Globe
“Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject.” —
The New York Times
The “dean of Cold War historians” (
) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but
why
—from the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama,
The Cold War
stands as a triumphant summation of the era that, more than any other, shaped our own.
Gaddis is also the author of
On Grand Strategy.
