A Brief History of the Cold War

The Cold War was an undeclared war, fought silently - and carefully - between ideological opponents armed with the most fearsome weapons mankind has ever seen.

This book takes a cool look at the Cold War, from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, down to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the USSR.

It examines the suspicion and paranoia - on both sides - of the greatest stand-off in history.

Written by one of Britain's leading popular military historians, it makes accessible for the first time one of the key periods to shape our world.
