Great book on the cold war between East and West - two superpowers the Soviet Union and the United States and their allies: the Easter Bloc and the Western Bloc. A reader can find a lot of interesting facts about countries and their people involved in that war, mostly from the Eastern Bloc. The book is a gem for history lovers.
