The War of Nerves: Inside the Cold War Mind

byMartin Sixsmith

A major new history of the Cold War that explores the conflict through the minds of the people who lived through it. Drawing on archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, the narrative gives The War of Nerves a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the inside the cold war mind becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within history. The War of Nerves ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
