The Cold War: A New History by John Lewis GaddisMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was really excited to read this because I love Gaddis and I am excited about classified documents that become available over time. I was also excited about this book being short so I could get a bird's-eye view of the issues that are in some ways playing out again with various states. But I didn’t find enough riveting material or amazing themes in this to justify how obnoxiously non-chronological this account was. Gaddis constantly jumped back and forth through time in a way that I found dizzying.
