Reviews

"A collection of original essays that explore the manner and means by which the Cold War was constructed and offer new and provocative insights into its bizarre and often brutal moments."--Marilyn Young, author of The Vietnam Wars, 1945-1990 "Innovative essays on Cold War culture. At a time when there is much 'buzz' about expanding the subject matter considered by historians of foreign relations and about informing discursive analysis with the problems of the 'real world, ' this collection of essays actually delivers the goods."--Frank Costigliola, University of Connecticut
