The Cold War
批評家のレビュー
“This splendid book presents a sensitively observed introduction to one of the great themes of contemporary history. Its achievement is not simply to establish a clear and uncluttered survey of the Cold War as it unfolded across every continent for half a century, but to show just why it continues to matter fundamentally in the world that we know today.” (Andrew Chandler, Director of the George Bell Institute and Reader in Modern History at the University of Chichester)
“Shows … that the Cold War was not only about Germany and did not happen only in the 1950s, but that it covered the whole of the globe, with a legacy that is still being felt today.” (Armin Grünbacher, lecturer in Modern History at the University of Birmingham and author of Reconstruction and Cold War in Germany)
あらすじ・解説
For nearly half a century the world was divided in two, wrenched apart by superpowers that perceived the nations of the world only as either capitalist or communist. The Cold War was a battle not of weapons but rather of minds, fought by intelligence agencies, propaganda and covert government envoys.
Using evidence from newly opened archives, Merrilyn Thomas peels back layers of deception and intrigue to dispel the myths of the Cold War. From the power of Mao’s Little Red Book to the menace of nuclear annihilation, this compelling account brings to life one of history’s most contentious periods, the legacy of which still haunts us today.
Audible制作部より
Narrator Adrian Mulraney will remind listeners of a professor who doesn't need to raise his voice to hold his students' attention. His deep voice is authoritative but warm, and listeners will find themselves quickly absorbed by Merrilyn Thomas' exposé of the reality behind the war between capitalism and communism. Using evidence from recently-opened archives, Thomas reveals the layers of complexity behind the Cold War - a drawn-out battle that was fought by intelligence agencies, propaganda, and covert agents - and in the process, explores and assesses its legacy today.
