An atlas designed for quick reference on strategic concerns. Freedman, a noted British strategist, overcomes the picture-book format (there are some 90 photos of dubious value) by combining an unbiased narrative of the superpower relationship with innovative cartography. The text demonstrates a paralysis at the superpower level. The 120 maps illustrate and expand upon this theme by adding a geographical perspective to the military history of the period. Further, they provide a tremendous amount of statistical and chronological data on force levels, the arms race, alliances, strategic resources, and conflicts since 1945, information that is not normally found in one place.
