Negative Positive
Title: A fantastic read
Review: I just finished John Lewis Gaddis' The Cold War and wanted to pass on a recommendation for it. It was enlightening start to finish. Not just about the whos, whats, and wheres, but Mr. Gaddis also touches on quite a bit of political and military theory that I had not really thought about before in this context.I thought it was a great book, albeit a bit short, but that was the point. Mr. Gaddis wanted to put togethor a shorter version of a very complex story. In doing so, he was able to touch on a variety of topics and how they fit into the grander theme of geopolitical history in the latter half of the 20th century without getting bogged down in the details.I think this would be a very good book for beginners but theres something in there for everyone. It may expose you to some things you were not aware of and lead you to wanting to know more about certain subjects. It's a sort of gateway book in that respect, I highly recommend it.
