Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Chamberlin convincingly shows that the Cold War (1945–90) was neither cold nor solely a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Chamberlin has done for the Cold War era what Fredrik Logevall’s Choosing War did for the Vietnam War. Historians and other informed readers will find much to consider in this significant revisionist work.” — Library Journal “Ambitious, important… [a] tour de force.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) [An] “eye-opening … precise, painful account of the Cold War.... what’s so valuable about Chamberlin’s book is that it draws the separate wars together into one intelligent, crisply written narrative. Doing so drives home just how relentlessly murderous the Cold War was. It also allows Chamberlin to make an important and novel argument about where the killings took place.” — The Nation
