4.0 out of 5 stars Cold war no more
I liked this book. If you are well read in this area, I don't think that the book is for you (especially if you are a vitriolic Howard Zhin fan or an American patriot who thinks we can do no wrong.) It is rather a general overview of the topic and ment for history students although clearly accesible to laymen. What I liked about the book is that Levering does not throw...

1.0 out of 5 stars So freaking boring!
Im a freshman student and I had to read this book for a history class. It was the most boring thing that Ive had to read in years. The words go in one ear and out the other. If you dont have much of an attention span, or just dont like history period then this book isnt for you. It makes a good coaster tho.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cold war no more, September 11, 2003
This review is from: The Cold War: A Post-Cold War History (American Biographical History Series) (Paperback)
I liked this book. If you are well read in this area, I don't think that the book is for you (especially if you are a vitriolic Howard Zhin fan or an American patriot who thinks we can do no wrong.) It is rather a general overview of the topic and ment for history students although clearly accesible to laymen. What I liked about the book is that Levering does not throw mind numbing statistics, but simply presents the phases of the cold war. There was a heavier emphasis on the beginning phases, and I would have like to have seen more written on the latter stages. Good intro though
