About this title

Synopsis

This is a history of the Cold War written by one of the former Moscow correspondents of "The Guardian". The book looks at how the war may have exerted a huge economic and psychological burden on the world but that it also provided the world with a sort of stability.

Review

It reads like a thriller...a gripping chronicle of the second half of our century (Vitali Vitaliev European )

A thoughtful, thought-provoking book, which any foreign correspondent would be proud to have written (Charles Wheeler Literary Review )

Walker's book is eminently readable. He tells an exciting story well, combining his journalistic skills with extensive research (Times Educational Supplement )
