The Labyrinth We Walked

“In each of these well-researched and well-written chapters, Mark Jensen gives us a set of images, analyses, and stories about facets of the Cold War era: Western colonialism and the war in Vietnam, the varied responses to nuclear weaponry, the unfinished work of civil rights in the U.S., and above all, the ideological and literal clash between capitalism and communism. From these chapters we take away a better understanding of what we've made of our world, for good and for ill, since the end of World War II.”
