{"product_id":"the-cold-war-a-new-history","title":"The Cold War: A New History","description":"“Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written.” —The Boston Globe\n\n“Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject.” —The New York Times\n\nThe “dean of Cold War historians” (The New York Times) 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.\n\nGaddis is also the author of On Grand Strategy.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143038273\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0143038273.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gaddis, John Lewis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
