The Rise and Fall of Détente is a succinct and well-argued account of the attempt of the superpowers to reduce the tensions of the Cold War and give humanity the hope that the nuclear apocalypse could be avoided. Jussi Hanhimäki captures the full complexity of détente, making the case that the policy had the paradoxical effect of undermining the very Cold War system that it was intended to stabilize. Along with the excellent collection of documents, this book is a valuable addition to the study of a fascinating era., "Détente shaped a hugely important era in Cold War international history, yet it remains poorly understood. Thankfully, we now have Jussi Hanhimäki's superb account to guide us. Hanhimäki effectively integrates U.S. foreign policy into a more global story that includes but also extends well beyond the famed exploits of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. An invaluable addition to the literature on the Cold War." -Andrew Preston, senior lecturer in history, Cambridge University, "The scholarship on dtente has exploded in the last decade, enhancing our understanding of the many dimensions of political, economic, and social change during the 1960s and 1970s. Jussi Hanhimki is a leading contributor to the new body of scholarship. This book draws on a deep reading of the best research of the last decade, it explains the transformation of the Cold War, and it analyzes why dtente did not last. This is a landmark book for understanding the successes and failures of international reform." --Jeremi Suri, Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs and author of Liberty's Surest Guardian: American Nation-Building from the Founders to Obama, "Dtente shaped a hugely important era in Cold War international history, yet it remains poorly understood.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
