The Atlantic and its Enemies is Norman Stone’s personal uncompromising and provocative history of how the West ’won’ the Cold War. For decades after the end of the Second World War most of the globe either laboured under Communist rule or else was lost in a violent stagnancy that seemed doomed to permanence. For every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World successes as the USSR and its proxies whether in Berlin Cuba Vietnam or China crushed dissent and humiliated the United States on both military and cultural grounds. Then suddenly the Atlantic won - economically ideologically militarily - with astonishing speed and comprehensiveness. With wit and brio Norman Stone’s The Atlantic and its Enemies offers a unique perspective on events from Vietnam to glasnost and draws on his own experiences - such as his time in a Slovak prison - to show both the tragedy and the absurdity of the struggle that divided the world for over forty years. ’Opinionated mischievous enthralling ... an exhilarating read’ Boyd Tonkin Independent ’Lively idiosyncratic rollicking’ Geoffrey Wheatcroft Observer ’Masterly ... the one book that anyone who wants to understand the Cold War must read’ John Gray New Statesman ’A swashbuckling survey of the cold war’ Mark Mazower Financial Times ’[Stone] has a terrific eye for detail bringing to life everything from the ruins of Germany to Ronald Reagan’s White House with a wonderfully waspish turn of phrase’ Economist Norman Stone is one of Britain’s most celebrated historians. He is the author of The Eastern Front 1914-1917 Hitler: An Introduction Europe Transformed and World War One: A Short History.
