THREATENEDTO END,OUR LIVES\n\nMANY WILL REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKEto live under the shadow of the Cold War:the ever-presentanxiety that at some point,because of some miscalcula-tion or act of hubris,we might find ourselyes in the middleof a nuclear holocaust—a war that,if we survived it,would change our lives and our planet forever.  \nHow did this terrible conflict arise?How did wartime alliesso quickly become deadly foes after 1945 and divide theworld into opposing camps,each armed to the teeth?Andhow,suddenly,did it all come to an end?Only now that theCold War has been over for fifteen years can we begin tofind a convincing perspective on it.John Lewis Gaddis'smasterly book is the first full,major history of the wholeconflict and explains not just what happened,but why ithappened—why the Soviet Union brutally repressed rebel-lion in East Germany,Hungary,and Czechoslovakia;howKennedy and Khrushchev confronted each other over theCuban Missile Crisis;why Nixon and Mao Zedong soughtwary friendship;what,at the end,John Paul II,Ronald Rea-gan,Margaret Thatcher,and Mikhail Gorbachev eachthought they were doing.Gaddis has synthesized all themost recent scholarship,but has also used minutes fromPolitburo meetings,startling information from recentlyopened Soviet and Asian archives,conversations betweenleaders overheard and noted down by their aides,and aboveall the words of the leading participants themselves—showing what was really on the mind of each,widramatic immediacy.  \nBoston,MA02116  \nWITHDRAWNsto m    oLhmayNo longer the property of the  \n4  \nTHE
