Description:
Used book, rubbing wear to jacket, internally fine. 493 pages. The aim of Fred Inglis's dazzling and provocative book is to help us to reappraise the history of the Cold War, and to understand the influence that it has had upon our lives and opinions. Within the brisk narrative history of the years from 1945 to 1990 which forms the backbone of the book are interspersed chapters of 'Biography' and 'Fictions'. The biographies are of figures, not always well-known, who were in one way or another either heroes or victims of the Cold War. The 'Fictions' chapters explore the way in which Cold War themes were reflected in the popular culture of the day - in films, such as The Magnificent Seven and Doctor Strangeglove, and in the novels of writers like Ian Fleming and John le Carre.
