Reflections of a Cold Warrior: From Yalta to the Bay of Pigs - Thryft

Insider's perspective on pivotal Cold War events.

If you're into history, particularly the cloak-and-dagger intricacies of the Cold War, "Reflections of a Cold Warrior" offers a front row seat to the strategic chess game between superpowers. Bissell's unique vantage point as a high-ranking official provides a deeply personal and detailed account of U.S. foreign policy decisions that shaped the world. You'll find his insights particularly fascinating if you're drawn to the behind-the-scenes maneuvers that aren't typically found in history textbooks.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
