Description
Cold War is a comprehensive history of the half-century since the end of World War II, told through the lens of individual human experience. This gripping narrative explores the global crises and conflicts that defined the era, from the Berlin Blockade to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and delves into the personal stories of those whose lives were shaped by these events.
Drawing on recently opened archives in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China, as well as formerly classified American documents, Jeremy Isaacs and Taylor Downing bring a fresh perspective to this pivotal period in world history. Their driving narrative is both informative and engaging, shedding new light on the true story of the Cold War.
