Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - They never fired a single shot at each other. Yet for four decades, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union planned for a war that could erase entire nations. This book examines the Cold War not as a clash of ideologies alone, but as…a machinery of decision-making where men weighed millions of lives against geopolitical advantage. From the Berlin Blockade to the Cuban Missile Crisis, from nuclear doctrine to proxy battlefields, it reconstructs how fear of annihilation drove the very actions that kept annihilation at bay. The logic was circular. The stakes were absolute. And the men who held the codes knew that one mistake meant no second chance. Drawing on declassified documents, diplomatic cables, and internal military assessments, the narrative traces how two superpowers built a global order on the edge of its own destruction. The Cold War was not simply a standoff. It was a system of organized distrust, where every move was calculated against a response that could end everything. This book asks what that system demanded of those who operated it, and what it left behind for a world that inherited its structures.
