I'm not sure where in which subreddit I should post this, so I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong subreddit. I am interested in learning more about the cold war (that part of history has always fascinated me). I was wondering if anybody give me some book recommendations on this topic?
John Lewis gaddis "the cold war" is a good starting point. It's very easy to pick up and read. He has written many other books on the subject. " We now know" is good.
No study of C20th international relations is complete without rise to globalism by Ambrose.
" The origins of the cold war" by McMahon and Paterson part of the problems in American civilisation series, is good. It's a collection of essays on various topics.
You might find this study by the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Cold War of use. Note especially the bibliography, but you may find the summary of interest as well. This is a Congressionally-mandated study, operated by the National Historic Landmarks Program of the National Park System. The intent is to identify resources that can be listed as National Historic Landmarks. I serve on the Committee; ask questions if I can help.
