Well, this was another pretty good history book for me. It was a condensed review of the Cold War covering not only military but political, economic and social events that had some sore of impact either on the the Cold War or because of it. I only have two issues with the book in that I think the author rushed it in order to be one of the first books out on the Cold War and that at the end he has a rather scathing review of the Reagan-Thatcher era and capitalism which I think was a little over the top. Otherwise a pretty good book for anyone interested in the Cold War but don't want to be weighed down reading some of the other, more in-depth books on the subject.
