Media Reviews
"In The Cold War: A History, Mr. Walker avoids the tangled debates over which side started the conflict and which did the most to sustain it. His analysis is breader, and with lively prose and well-chosen anecdotes, he deftly traverses a half-century of fascinating material. Historians will find little that is new in Mr. Walker's book, and one wishes he had managed to tap recently declassified Soviet documents to shed new light on familiar episodes. This lack of new research, however, may actually be a strength: instead of getting immersed in detailed analyses of any one period of the cold war, Mr. Walker keeps moving forward and maintains a sense of historic sweep. For this reason, his book is enormously successful as a one-volume narrative." -- David Callahan
-- New York Times Book Review
The first major study for the general reader of the Cold War as history." -- Ronald Steel
"Should become a basic text in the new field of Cold War studies." -- Editor's Choice
-- American Heritage

Publisher's Notes
The Cold War dominated international relations in the second half of the twentieth century. It changed the face of the world and led to interventions by the superpowers in Third World guerilla wars, the rise of the National Security state in the United States, the largest and most expensive peacetime armaments construction the world has ever seen. Martin Walker, who has reported many key events in the history of the Cold War, examines the history and the effects of this global struggle.
