Quirky and overpriced
A collection of academic papers whose authors utilize half-baked theories for questionable judgments. The Cold War, in their view, is limited to the post-World War II east-west confrontation. However, more astute observers (such as Andre Fontaine and D.F. Fleming) properly place it in the context of an ideological struggle that began when the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in 1917.

In viewing the Cold War as primarily a geopolitical struggle, rather than an ideological struggle that took on a geopolitical form, most of the authors draw unwarranted conclusions regarding the nature of the Cold War, and the nature of world politics since it ended.

This seems to be a typical result of the academic "publish or perish" syndrome. Don't waste your money on it.
