This is not your traditional, linear account of events, as we have come to know most other history books. This is a variety of asynchronos snapshots of key figures during the cold war, and the people and events surrouding them.
This format is interesting, but not quite what I expected. There are a number of omitted events, details, background events that add color to the current story. Each chapter is a story unto itself, so do not feel compelled to read this book in long sittings - here and there will get you through. Good commuting reading.
I liked this book, but I felt that Gaddis (or his editors) held back in the interest of selling more books. This is dissappointing. It is never fun seeing a great mind pander to the lowest common denominator in order to sell more books.
