Resumen del Editor

Did the Soviet Union want world revolution? Why did the USSR send missiles to Cuba? What made the Cold War last as long as it did? The end of the Cold War makes it possible, for the first time, to begin writing its history from a truly international perspective. Based on the latest findings of Cold War historians and extensive research in American archives as well as the recently opened archives in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and China, We Now Know provides a vividly written, eye-opening account of the Cold War during the years from the end of World War II to its most dangerous moment, the Cuban missile crisis.

We Now Know stands as a powerful vindication of United States policy throughout the period, and as a thought-provoking reassessment of the Cold War by one of its most distinguished historians.

Good book, bad narrator

The authors other book, The Cold War: A New History, is a must read/listen - it's fantastic, moves at a very fast pace, and is really entertaining.

This book, however, has a lot more commentary in it - and seems a bit less focused. Still, it's quite good in parts, and it's one of the very very few books on Audible that isn't full of woke politics and leftist takes. That isn't to say Gaddis is throwing out red meat - but the book is fair and doesn't assume the worst of every situation the US is in - which is extremely uncommon in today's world where every published author just repeats the NY Times leftist talking points.

If you read his first Cold War book, this is a good companion book.

As for the narrator ... I've heard unlistenable before and he's not quite that bad. Just speed it up to at least 1.25x and it's tolerable, and after a couple of hours I just got used to him, and as I approach the end of the book - he sounds fine.

Annoying narrator!

I previously listened to THE COLD WAR by John Lewis Gaddis and enjoyed and learned a lot from it. I'm sure it's just me, but I found the narrator's voice so distracting and annoying that I had trouble following the storyline. I feel certain I would have liked the book much better with another narrator. That is why I gave the book such a poor score. Admittedly, I listened to only about an hour of the book, but I was so turned off by the fact that could hardly recall anything to which I had listened. I simply cannot recommend this audiobook. I really am not in a position to judge the story as I listened to so little of the audiobook. I would recommend listening to THE COLD WAR by John Lewis Gaddis rather than this audiobook.
