The Atlantic and its Enemies: A Personal History of the Cold War by Norman Stone
Norman Stone has produced a lively and idiosyncratic account of the cold war that is none the worse for an occasional tendency to ramble, says Geoffrey Wheatcroft.
Norman Stone has produced a lively and idiosyncratic account of the cold war that is none the worse for an occasional tendency to ramble, says Geoffrey Wheatcroft.
Who won the cold war, and how, and why? The obvious answer to the first question is that the west won, the United States and its western European allies. But this wasn't a victory for armed force like the preceding defeat of Germany and Japan. Nato was arguably the most successful military alliance there has ever been; and yet when the Soviet Union imploded 20 years ago it still possessed a full nuclear arsenal and, unlike the German army in the woefully misleading phrase nationalists used after 1918, the red army really was "undefeated on the battlefield", at least in the west.
