Reviews
For students who have no memories of the Cold War, there is no better introduction than A Hard and Bitter Peace. Judge and Langdon present clear accounts of every significant Cold War episode, responsible treatments of contentious issues, and understandable explanations of competing points of view. Theirs should be the essential text for any undergraduate course on the Cold War. -- William G. Frasure, Connecticut College
Judge and Langdon's book is outstanding. Written from traditional and global perspectives, it offers a comprehensive survey of the Cold War. Exceptionally well written, it is easily accessible by a non-specialist audience. This volume is the textbook for the newest generation of students. Most highly recommended! -- Mark Kulikowski, SUNY Oswego
Judge and Langdon have written a solid, well-researched text that is both accessible to undergraduates and balanced with rich detail. With excellent use of contemporary Cold War scholarship and primary sources, the authors weave together a complex, interesting narrative that brings a genuinely global perspective to the Cold War. -- Teresa Fava Thomas, Fitchburg State University
The third edition of A Hard and Bitter Peace is a lucid, well-organized introduction to the international context of the historic rivalry between Washington and Moscow from 1947 to 1991. It is a timely contribution in an era that many observers are calling 'The New Cold War.' -- William Keylor, Boston University
