Cold War revelations: politics, risks, and near-holocaust.

If history and political intrigue catch your interest, "End of the American Century" is a must-read. It offers a deep dive into the precarious dynamics of the Cold War era. The book sheds light on pivotal decisions that narrowly avoided a nuclear catastrophe, a perspective that could change the way you look at modern history.
