Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-09 00:00:00 Donna Pack This volume 3 presents the reliable shit-ton of amazing information (especially around Latin America and the root causes of Russia's '79 invasion of Afghanistan) that the previous 50 chapters have accustomed us to. I think it also addresses several areas that felt underrepresented in the previous volumes. This history is monumental, and it provides the most comprehensive history of the period. My one disappointment is that it fails to address the governments' relations with big business. These relations were profoundly shaped by a cold war mentality, and many of the institutional structures that evolved around these relations are still around exerting influence.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-13 00:00:00 Trina Wilson By far the most comprehensive book on the entirety of the Cold War, from origins to the collapse to resulting consequences. Written by eminent scholars in the field. A must read.
