| Summary: | A history of the Cold War as primarily a conflict of psychology. More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. Nearly thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures--not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts and fears. Martin Sixsmith recreates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, framing it from a psychological perspective. Revisiting towering personalities like Kruschev, Kennedy, and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping narrative of the paranoia of the Cold War--and in today's uncertain times, this story is more resonant that ever. -- From back cover. |
