Solid account of Cold War and superpower politics

Spanier misses nothing in this absorbing book that explains superpower politics in easy to understand language. The entire work is impressive with the chapters on balance of terror and crisis management superb. This is the book for anyone who wants to uderstand how world powers and superpowers function in the world.
