Melvyn P. Leffler's new book

[Nathaniel Heidenheimer]

This new book should prove very intereting. The author was one of the first US historians to fundementally challenge the hegemonic view of the cold that had refrozen during the Reagan years as it was preached by historians like Gaddis-- after the Cold War ended. His earlier book fundementally challenged the absurd view that the USSR was the main aggressor during the Cold War.
