Adenauer. Reviews Book Description The Cold War was one of the most dangerous periods in American history, but it ended with one of our greatest victories: the dismantling of the Soviet Empire and discrediting of Communist ideology. Architects of Victory tells how the Cold War was won and it does so in a unique way by focusing on the lives of six great figures who were among those most responsible for Western victory: Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, Konrad Adenauer, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Pope John Paul II, and Ronald Reagan. This scholarly survey of contemporary history and celebration of human greatness provides an indispensable overview of the events and personalities that dominated the second half of the 20th Century. Josh Gilder from Maryland, USA , November 5, 1999 Excellent, elegantly written and insightful Excellent book. Engaging, informative and a quick read. Tells you more about Reagan in 60 pages than Edmund Morris did in 600. And Shattan gets it right, too. Every one of these six portraits is beautifully crafted: scholarly without being pedantic (telling you exactly as much as you need to know without a lot of extraneous information), and reads like a novel. A history that's a real page-turner! Read it. amazon.com
