Summary

The Cold War Summary

The Cold War: And the Making of the Modern World by Martin Walker

Martin Walker's account of over forty years of global confrontation between the US and Russia is a masterly narrative of the Cold War's twists and turns by a journalist who was a first-hand witness to its close. Immaculately researched, drawing upon both the vast of historical literature that has been produced over the years as well as previously-closed contemporary Kremlin archives, this is an authoritative account of one of the most signficant conflicts of the 20th century.

The Cold War Reviews

It reads like a thriller...a gripping chronicle of the second half of our century -- Vitali Vitaliev * European *
A thoughtful, thought-provoking book, which any foreign correspondent would be proud to have written -- Charles Wheeler * Literary Review *
Walker's book is eminently readable. He tells an exciting story well, combining his journalistic skills with extensive research * Times Educational Supplement *
