"A History of the Cold War reflects its scope rather than its purpose. For the purpose of this book is not so much the complete and accurate reconstruction of a now closed historical period as the description, through a historical approach, of important tendencies, convergences, conflicts, misunderstandings, and movements of the two great protagonists of the World Struggle. The cold war is not over; its tendencies, conflicts, and movements go on; and many of these tendencies, conflicts and movements were in development, of course, long before the cold war began" [from the dust jacket].
Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: page bright, clean, tight, and unmarked; front board and bottom outside page edges lightly soiled, barely noticeable.
