Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-19 00:00:00 Catherine Pehr Essay collection that's very much of it's start of the 21st century moment. Some very good essays, notably one on the dynamics of Cold War economic demographics (that has a really interesting segment on how the shift from ground forces to technological air power played out in my hometown of Colorado Springs. Some good essays that point towards later work on the understanding of gender and containment. Basically, though, most of the book's been superceded.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-31 00:00:00 Henry Rosenfeld This book is a collection of essays by historians looking at culture during the cold war. Some get quite heavy and deep, others more easily followed. It covers everything from gender and the cold war to just what the average person experienced during this period - was the threat of nuclear war as omnipresent as we are led to believe today. There is also an examination of cold war Hollywood movies. All in all, an interesting collection of thoughts and ideas.
