Garry Clifford, University of Connecticut "At a moment in the early 2lst century when the choices in a new crisis seem simply black and white, this is precisely the kind of historical perspective we should have.

[I]t certainly demands to be read and widely discussed."--Walter LaFeber, Cornell University and author of America, Russia and the Cold War
