Why read it?
1 author picked Armed Truce as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a somewhat obscure work, a massive book that apparently did not sell well. But it offers a blow-by-blow description by a great British historian about how the Cold War started, and demonstrates how it was principally Stalin's actions that led to World War II morphing into a cold war.
From Robert's list on the Cold War from a journalist who lived it.
