The World of the Cold War: 1945-1991
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd
Vladislav Zubok has produced an extraordinarily comprehensive account of the Cold War from 1945 to its apparent demise in 1991. He manages to incorporate the perspectives of nearly all the many states across the globe that became involved at some time or another. This is a scholarly, well researched book that nevertheless never loses its clear narrative drive.
