The Cold War: A New History by John Lewis Gaddis

3.0

Decent primer on the Cold War, but despite the subtitle, this book offers nothing new. If you know anything about the Cold War, this is simply a rehash of well-known history. The only audience for this book would be students who have never learned anything about the Cold War. For them, it is a clear, broad overview. There are much better entries in Cold War history, however, so this seems like an unnecessary addition to the field.
