The Teach Yourself History
series offers an alternative to academic historical
books, its content being extensive yet extremely accessible
and the approach refreshingly different.
The books are informative and compelling,
and engage the reader from beginning to end. They assume
no prior historical knowledge, and are full of anecdotes
and details that provide a very personal appeal.
Teach Yourself The Cold War
provides a fascinating insight into this complicated
and hidden conflict, from how it began to the main characters
involved and the culture it created.
It will help you understand how the
super powers grew and vied for dominance, and how the
balance was lost. It covers all the important aspects
of the war, from what JFK and his assassin had in common
to discussing whether the tension ended after the fall
of the Berlin Wall.
Give yourself the opportunity to understand
the global reach of this 45-year-long war, which shaped
the latter half of the twentieth century. |
