Rezensionen

'Painter presents a very good analysis of the end of the Cold War.' - Journal of Contemporary History

'The Cold War is a very good combination of a comprehensive yet remarkably succinct account of the origins, development and conclusion of the Cold War that will serve as an excellent introductory text ... while providing a very handy overview for any interested reader.' - Slavonic and East European Review 80, 2002
