{"product_id":"the-cold-war-john-gerlach-9781621060505","title":"The Cold War","description":"In the latest installment of the \u003ci\u003eSimple History\u003c\/i\u003e zine series, author J. Gerlach takes a look at the Cold War. An era of nukes and paranoia, witch-hunting and gun-running, the Cold War was a complicated and oft-times terrifying time in our world's history. Says Gerlach in the introduction, The Cold War is a popular topic of debate for historians because of the large number of 'what-ifs' and the immensity of the consequences should a bluff be called, or an itchy trigger finger released. There seems to have been opportunities, both for an honorable end to the conflict, and for complete world destruction. From the post-war reconstruction of Asia and Europe to the Bay of Pigs and Perestroika, Gerlach's book comprises a wide cross-section of the important events of the last 70 years and gives its objective facts in a clear-minded, engaging, accessible fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Gerlach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621060500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621060505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Microcosm Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.30h x 4.10w x 0.30d","brand":"John Gerlach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571366908159,"sku":"9781621060505","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b97556f7-52c9-4ad2-8279-42704dcf2307.jpg?v=1738808023","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cold-war-john-gerlach-9781621060505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
