When Strategies of Containment was first published, the Soviet Union was still a superpower, Ronald Reagan was president of the United States, and the Berlin Wall was still standing. This updated edition of Gaddis' classic carries the history of containment through the end of the Cold War. Beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt's postwar plans, Gaddis provides a thorough critical analysis of George F. Kennan's original strategy of containment, NSC-68, The Eisenhower-Dulles "New Look," the Kennedy-Johnson "flexible response" strategy, the Nixon-Kissinger strategy of detente, and now a comprehensive assessment of how Reagan - and Gorbechev - completed the process of containment, thereby bringing the Cold War to an end.

He concludes, provocatively, that Reagan more effectively than any other Cold War president drew upon the strengths of both approaches while avoiding their weaknesses. A must-read for anyone interested in Cold War history, grand strategy, and the origins of the post-Cold War world.

Format: Kindle
I love the book. I think he is honest and courageous for exposing demonic oppression. I had no idea how throughly racist the system is. I have highlighted just about every page. I have even shared qoutes on face book. I really think he could help his people eliminate racism, opression and colorblindness. Thank you Tim!

Solutions to the eradication of subtle racism that still exists in the United States
Format: Kindle
In this book - Colorblind: The Rise of Post-Racial Politics - Tim Wise called out those who are in denial of racism in the era of Obama. He not only gave examples of existence, but also enunciated solutions to tackle it. In fact there are everything to be done both in private capacity as well as public policies. Anyone who is perturbed by the overwhelming racial disparity would find this book very illuminating.
