by Gordon S. Barrass (Author)
The Great Cold War seeks to demystify the events of the Cold War by exploring new revelations that have emerged over the past two decades, some of them once closely guarded secrets. This new material-from archives, biographies, oral history, conferences and the author's own extensive interviews with people who were inside the system-has enabled the author to take a fresh and truly revealing look at what really happened on both sides during the cold war-from the big picture to the precipitation and resolution of specific crises.
