The Cold War was one of the most important events in the second half of the twentieth century, which was a struggle for global influence enters the United States and the Soviet Union.
The book, in principle, is not presented as an overview of the main events between 1945 and 1991 in relation to the confrontation between the two superpowers. Nor with constant references to sinister spy stories and anecdotes of a more dangerous world. Decolonization and its rapid replacement by geopolitics in which all were allies of either side and competed in courtesies, with the explicit warning, either to the world's largest democracy, a Soviet invasion and the use the dollar to destroy the Allied economies otherwise. Atomic bombs.
By the end of the book, the reader sees only the latter met expectations, the atomic bombs. Always read the rest depending on how many pumps available to each one of the contenders in each historical period.
One of the most interesting parts of the book is that in principle is presented as secondary, the years before the beginning of the Cold War itself, and the years of World War II, as having only limited to historical facts simple and concise manner.
A point to note is the story of the book, which is always from the perspective U.S., and never stops to look carefully at the point of view of the Soviets, so it ends up becoming a kind of interpreter and historian of American foreign policy. It shows the failure of the project of President Woodrow Wilson, the League of Nations, just after the First World War and its tensions with the Soviet Union recently appeared that refuses to commune with the requirements, rule of law, individual freedoms, free market in exchange for diplomatic and economic aid tolerance. This situation is perpetuated over the years before World War II, gradually worsens with the arrival of Stalin to power, and flips radical with the outbreak of the conflict. The Bolshevik becomes an ally against the Nazis, and ideological reasons disappear. The years of World War II are, at times exciting, and highlights the highlight of the mythical image of innocence Frankiln D. Roosevelt in his negotiations with the ruthless Stalin.
With the arrival of President Truman to the United States will change things completely, as it would appear that the atomic bomb, soon after the Soviets got it, and from there the history of the world in the book is based on two parameters :
atomic bomb and indirect conflict between the superpowers, which after Truman, covering presidencies Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush.
Another point to note in this book is, without doubt at any time that atomic bombs are the foundation of any policy of both superpowers, may cause disappointment that the author takes delight in mentioning us with great detail each of the negotiations on both sides. The State of the arms question, the development of new models, among other things, that on one hand is very complete and useful, and the other can be overwhelming. Despite the enormous value and detailed military information which the author refers to nuclear bombs, there comes a time when the reader may get tired because it uses too much language and military codes. On the other hand, it is remarkable narrative, information and knowledge by the author that presented the book. Each time, a fact Powaski account and based on accurate data immediately. The book has an excellent oxygenation in reading, because it uses multiple subtitles among the chapters. The Cold War 1917-1991
United States and the Soviet Union, is a very good book recommended for all readers, without exception. Anyway, to read, it should have at least a brief understanding of the conflict between these two superpowers, because otherwise they will find lots of information and lots of data in some cases, the lack of dynamism in some chapters of the book, can be overwhelming for the reader.
