The Cold War: A Military History by Robert Cowley
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 mb
Overview: The Cold War lasted almost half a century—from 1946 until 1991, when the Soviet Union ceased to exist—and occupied the greater part of our lifetime. The expression was apparently coined by the preeminent journalist of the middle years of the century just ended, Walter Lippmann. According to his biographer, Ronald Steele, Lippmann borrowed the phrase from the French La Guerre Froide, “The Cold War,” which people used to describe the “Phony War” of 1939.
Essays by twenty-five distinguished historians shed new light on the military aspects of the Cold War, with contributions by Dino Bugioni on plans to invade Cuba during the missile crisis, Jeffrey Norman’s description of how POWs in North Vietnam survived their ordeal, and other works by Stephen Ambrose, David McCullough, Caleb Carr, Thomas Fleming, and others.
