About this listen
The Cold War was an undeclared war, fought silently and carefully between ideological opponents armed with the most fearsome weapons mankind has ever seen. Hughes-Wilson takes a cool look at this war, from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR thereafter.
He examines the suspicion and paranoia -- on both sides -- of the greatest stand-off in history. Written by one of Britain's leading, popular, military historians, this book makes accessible for the first time one of the key periods to shape our world.

Great Audio
I really liked this book - it had plenty of info and covered an extensive period of history between the USA and USSR. Phillip Franks was great to listen to and his different accents/voices made it very enjoyable. There were a few moments where I wished for more detailing but these weren't essential to the story so it's a minor gripe - overall, if you're interested then I highly recommend this title.
