'Although the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union no longer exists, this book is still important as it provides a thoughtful and critical analysis of the events that can be used as a lesson for today's relations among states' - Muslim World Book Review '... the book is a timely work, deserving of a wide readership... It is encouraging that in a period when 'contemporary history' has gone into something of a decline... a book of this sort is written. The objective approach of the two authors, their willingness to analyse Soviet policies as well as those of the US... their clarity of expression and their breadth of vision are also to be admired... It is a book well-written, well structured and well-judged.' Millennium
