A Brief History of the Cold War (Brief Histories) par John Hughes-Wilson
A very good summary of a complex period whose influence on contemporary politics still plays. Understanding how wars move from capability to technology Nd economy Nd information is an important lesson for analysing any conflict.
A staid British slightly jingoistic history of the war divided into chapters where each chapter has an image of a thematically central object from the British War Museums. You can read it right through, but the chapters also stand alone. It is an attractive book and (but?) unreferenced. The author claims that the expression "chatting"as in schmoozing comes from times when WWI soldiers were talking and picking chats (lice) from themselves. This seems to be almost certainly incorrect.
American history, John F Kennedy, conspiracy theories
