Customer Reviews

excellent overview

Warren's book is an excellent overview and summary of the major assumptions, events, and personalities of the Cold War period. It is ideally suited to high school readers.

An overview for Junior and Senior High School Students!

Provides one of the few overviews of a subject not normally covered in this age range. Ignore the previous review, the liberal slant and college level language used, infers a biased student, who knows little except what overpaid college profs(who had little or no involvment in the actual event) tell them. Take it from this reviewer, who actually fought in the cold war. Your better off with an American slant(which is a whole lot closer to the truth than a Russian slant would ever be.) After all the title is The American Crusade Against the Soviet Union, what kind of bias did you expect.
