"The Cold War is rapidly receding in the rear-view mirror of history, and for Millennials might as well be the Crusades of the Middle Ages. Edwards and Spalding tell the story superbly, reminding us in their not-to-be-missed conclusion of the vital lessons that endure from that great clash of ideas at the heart of the Cold War--a clash that persists in different forms today. One way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past is to learn them correctly, as readers of this book will do."<br>--STEVEN F. HAYWARD, Ronald Reagan Professor of Public Policy, Pepperdine University, and author of The Age of Reagan <p/>"This invaluable historical sketch makes clear: the Cold War was, at its heart, a dramatic contest between competing visions of the human person that turned on principles of individual freedom and dignity. For those of us who grew up during that worldwide struggle against a toxic ideology that thought history was on its side, and for a new generation facing new foes, A Brief History of the Cold War is a reminder of the critical importance of that human perspective."<br>--NINA SHEA, director, the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom <p/>"In an eminently readable 'Brief History, ' Edwards and Spalding lay out the real conflicts when one side makes the state supreme, with the person a mere cog, and the other side--a coalition of the free--gives the person all the dignity and integrity with which God created them."<br>--VERY REVEREND PAUL B. R. HARTMANN, judicial vicar, Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and president, Catholic Memorial High School <p/>"A Brief History of the Cold War is a remarkable accomplishment. Lee Edwards and Elizabeth Spalding capture the essence of the longest and one of the most complicated conflicts of the twentieth century, and manage to do so in a concise and beautifully written manner. This book is a must read for all students of politics, history, and American foreign policy, and for anyone interested in understanding the conflict that set the stage for the twenty-first century. This is a truly masterful and accessible account--a gem of a book."<br>--STEPHEN F. KNOTT, professor, Department of National Security Affairs, United States Naval War College, and author of Rush to Judgment: George W. Bush, the War on Terror, and His Critics<br>
