The Cold War

“Nixon was bombing civilians in Cambodia and Laos but he felt vewwy vewwy sad about it and those meanie leftist cowwege students made him feel afwaid.”

Real Prager U revisionist, American bias nonsense here that omits a ton of atrocities condoned and perpetrated by the United States. Puts all the blame for literally every terrible thing done in the world during the cold war on everyone but the US.
Just silly, quite frankly.

A well-crafted history; nothing an academic would find hugely useful, but an eminently readable summary of one of the most turbulent periods in Earth's history. Gaddis has a fairly clear right-wing bias, but as long as you bear that in mind this is a useful and enjoyable book
