冷战：交易·谍影·谎言·真相
(us) John Lewis Gaddis
Cold War, the most gripping nonfiction book of the year, gives us an unprecedented sense of what it was like to be in a world on the verge of destruction. Here's the truth behind all the spy novels you've read: why the United States and the Soviet Union were at a standoff; how close we came to nuclear catastrophe; what contemporary leaders, from Stalin to Mao, Reagan to Gorbachev, had in mind; how intelligence agents plotted, and how East German vacationers contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall. This is a story about crisis talk, excuses, tyrants and power struggles, and ordinary people changing the course of history.
