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

Herf (born April 24, 1947) is an American historian. He is Distinguished University Professor of modern European, in particular modern German, history at the University of Maryland, College Park. Herf's father escaped from Nazi Germany in 1937 and immigrated to the United States. Herf graduated in history from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1969 and received his Ph.D. in sociology from Brandeis University in 1981. Before joining the faculty at the University of Maryland, he taught at Harvard University and Ohio University. He has published essays in The American Interest, The Washington Post, Commentary, Partisan Review, The Times of Israel, and The New Republic. In his 1984 book, Reactionary Modernism: Technology, Culture and Politics in Weimar and the Third Reich, drawing on critical theory, in particular ideology critique, Herf coined the term "reactionary modernism" to describe the mixture of robust modernity and an affirmative stance toward progress combined with dreams of the past, a highly technological romanticism, which was a current in the thinking of ideologues of Weimar's "conservative revolution" and of currents in the Nazi regime. His subsequent books examine the political culture of West Germany before and during the battle over Euromissiles in the 1980s; memory and politics regarding the Holocaust in East and West Germany; Nazi Germany's antisemitic propaganda; and Nazi propaganda aimed at North Africa and the Middle East.
