The Cold War: A Beginner's Guide

by Merrilyn Thomas

Book Overview

How the modern world was shaped by super power rivalry through deception and propaganda

This guide exposes the reality behind the war between capitalism and communism, two ideologies divided by the Iron Curtain. New revelations show that what was once regarded as simply a struggle between good and evil was in fact a far more complex affair. Merrilyn Thomas peels back the layers of deception and intrigue and offers a penetrating assessment of the legacy of instability that continues today.
