Requests:  0 Summary:  "More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. And, nearly thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures -- not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts and fears. Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives and unseen sources, Martin Sixsmith vividly recreates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, framing it for the first time from a psychological perspective. Revisiting towering, unique personalities like Kruschev, Kennedy, and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping narrative of the paranoia of the Cold War -- and in today's uncertain times, this story is more resonant that ever." -- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 909.825 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.825 Sixsmith Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.825 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList
