How the Cold War Ended: Debating and Doing History

"An indispensable primer on the myriad factors that contributed to the dEnouement of the Cold War. Prados lays bare the historian's tools, giving every reader a chance to analyze the epic events of the period. This is an invaluable book for all those who are frustrated by the short-sighted triumphalism of post-Cold War America."--Vladislav M. Zubok, professor of history, Temple University, and author of "A Failed Empire: The Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev"--Vladislav M. Zubok (11/02/2010)
