Reviews

"The quality of Sherwin's research and the strength of his argument are far superior to previous accounts." - New York Times Book Review "Probably the definitive account for a long time to come... Sherwin has tackled some of the critical questions of the Cold War's origins - and has settled them, in my opinion." - Walter LaFeber, Cornell University "Sure to be the definitive study of these particular questions." - Noam Chomsky
