Viac o knihe

With the ending of the Second World War in 1945, there ended also the great alliance of nations that had defeated Germany and Japan. Within a year relationships between Russia and the West were being described in terms of The Cold War and The Iron Curtain. Aformer Soviet Foreign Minister was using the expression 'Armed Truce' to explain the best that could now be hoped for. But how and why did this happen? Hugh Thomas, combining the historian's overall view with a novelist's eye for the telling detail, describes the personalities, the ideology and geography, the military and economic factors that interacted to produce the Cold War. Scholarship, vision and sheer readability combine in this superb work of history.
