Overview

This exciting and fast-moving narrative covers the period between the end of World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union. a volatile era, it was marked by a series of confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union and their various allies and satellites. Its key factors were an escalating arms race, the competition to conquer space, a dangerously belligerent form of diplomacy known as brinksmanship, and a series of small wars sometimes called police actions by the United States, and sometimes excused as defense measures by the Soviets. This book also describes the major personalities of those times and how they faced off against each other.
