What if everything you thought you knew about how the Cold War ended was wrong? Forget about Reagan, Gorbachev and the Pope. When the superpowers decided they couldn't blow each other off the face of the Earth, other plans had to be created.

"A mad ramble of international schemes and duplicity, with a story that makes way more sense than history does. I loved it." - Matt Gallagher, author of Youngblood, Multiple New York Times best selling author
