"Ugh. Seriously full of cold warrior rhetoric and Reagan idolatry. Bleah.
Some of my favorite parts talk about how those dastardly Russkies had SPIES in America, SPIES I TELL YOU. Completely ignoring the fact that we had spies over there too. Too ridiculous for words, or to be taken seriously as anything other than a portrait of the kind of thinking that kept the Cold War going as long as it did."
"Well-written history of the Cold War. Covers the period from World War II through the Cuban Missile Crisis. Also discusses antecedents to the Cold War, such as de Tocqueville's 19th century prophecy that America and Russia would be rivals in the next century."
"I read this book for a history class on the Cold War, and I found Gaddis' analysis quite often one-sided. His United States is always right and wins all interpretation of the Cold War became very tiring, when we are constantly faced with evidence to the contrary."
