This is indeed a captivating audiobook!

Having previous knowledge about the Cold War I was eager to hear this audiobook. I was amazed by the amount of details given on each relevant historical event that is described, from Eastern Europe to Vietnam. Full of details , some of which I did not know, I think this audiobook may br of relevance for anyone with interest in the topic. The reader is also contributing to the general impression of a professional work.
