Résumé
Among the scholars writing about the history of Soviet/ Russian foreign policy, Vladislav Zubok is one of the most distinguished. We are fortunate that he has now turned his attention to writing an overall account of the Cold War. This provocative, comprehensive, and insightful analysis not only incorporates the latest scholarship but is also remarkably lucid and accessible. Students will be enlightened; experts will be challenged to reassess their thinking. This volume is a major contribution Melvyn P. Leffler
