"This book is a step up from most, if not all, documentary collections on the Cold War that I have come across. The depth and breadth of selected documents goes beyond the official perspectives that frequently dominate such compendiums."--Andrew O'Neil, Australian Review of Public Affairs

Review from previous edition: "This is a superbly-crafted collection, ideally suited to the teaching of Cold War international history in all its aspects. It deserves the most widespread classroom use."--John Lewis Gaddis, Yale University

"A fascinating compilation of documents that illuminates diverse aspects of the Cold War and from multiple perspectives. This volume is essential reading for all students of the Cold War and should prove invaluable in teaching courses on the international history of the 20th century."--Melvyn P. Leffler, University of Virginia
