Book Synopsis
The history of the Cold War is littered with what-ifs, and in Diplomacy Shot Down, E. Bruce Geelhoed explores one of the most intriguing: What if the Soviets had not shot down the American U-2 spy plane and President Dwight D. Eisenhower had visited the Soviet Union in 1960 as planned?

Trade Review
In this deeply researched book, Bruce Geelhoed persuasively shows the pivotal impact of the U-2 incident, which set off a string of events, including the cancelation of President Eisenhower's trip to the Soviet Union, that precluded a possible thawing of the Cold War at a critical juncture in international history."" - William A. Taylor, author of Military Service and American Democracy: From World War II to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars
