New York: The Penguin Press, 2005. Third printing [stated]. Hardcover. xii, [6], 333, [1] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Substantial highlighting and ink marks and comments noted. (primarily up to page 80). Evaluates the second half of the twentieth century in light of its first fifty years, chronicling how the world transformed from a dark era of international communism and nuclear weapons to a time of political and economic freedom. John Lewis Gaddis (born 1941) is an American international relations scholar, military historian, and writer. He is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. He is best known for his work on the Cold War and grand strategy, and he has been hailed as the "Dean of Cold War Historians" by The New York Times. Gaddis is also the official biographer of the seminal 20th-century American statesman George F. Kennan. George F. Kennan: An American Life, his biography of Kennan, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. His most famous work is the highly influential Strategies of Containment, which analyzes in detail the theory and practice of containment that was employed against the Soviet Union by Cold War American presidents; his 1983 distillation of post-revisionist scholarship similarly became a major channel for guiding subsequent Cold War research. The Cold War, praised by John Ikenberry as a "beautifully written panoramic view of the Cold War, full of illuminations and shrewd judgments," was an examination of the history and effects of the Cold War than had been previously possible, and won Gaddis the 2006 Harry S. Truman Book Prize. More

Store stamp on fep. John Lewis Gaddis (born 1941) is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. He is best known for his work on the Cold War and grand strategy and he has been hailed as the "Dean of Cold War Historians" by The New York Times. Gaddis is also the official biographer of the seminal 20th-century American statesman George F. Kennan. George F. Kennan: An American Life (2011), his biography of Kennan, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. He jointed The Ohio University in 1969. At Ohio, he founded and directed the Contemporary History Institute, and was named a distinguished professor in 1983. In 1997, he moved to Yale University to become the Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History. Gaddis is probably the best known historian writing in English about the Cold War. Perhaps his most famous work is the highly influential Strategies of Containment (rev. 2005), which analyzes in detail the theory and practice of containment that was employed against the Soviet Union by Cold War American presidents. We Now Know (1997) presented an analysis of the Cold War through to the Cuban Missile Crisis that incorporated new archival evidence from the Soviet bloc. Melvyn Leffler named it as "likely to set the parameters for a whole new generation of scholarship". It was praised as "the first coherent and sustained attempt to write the Cold War's history since it ended." More
