Cold War Uncovered and Not Just for Scholars

Greg MitrovichÕs intense scholarship enlightens a recent but suppressed historical period with mastery and ease of access for all. His lucid style and awesome research makes accessible the complexity of a tense period that threatened the American way of life. This book uncovers not only the escalating events but the dynamic and individualistic human elements within the U.S. administrations that sets the stage for dramatic, if not drastic, responses against the Soviet power. Highly recommended!

Cold War revelations

This is a first-rate and very, very well researched examination of a dangerous period in U.S history. Through recently declassified materials, the author sheds a bright light on U.S. policies and covert actions, clearly documenting that America's intelligence agencies acted under the authority of policymakers at the highest levels. A must read for scholars and intelligence practitioners.
