Had to read for Russian History II and actually really enjoyed! Great collection of primary sources with a bit of a humorous flair at times (perhaps unintended, but I found it humorous at times).

I read this text for the Hist 104 course I was a TA for. It gives a good overview of the cold war and some great primary source material on the subject. I don't think the students were that thrilled with it, but there were some sources that definitely stood out to them.
