Cold World They Made

In "Cold World They Made," author Ron Theodore Robin delves into the profound impact of the Wohlstetters, the original power couple of strategic studies, during the perilous Cold War era. Through their unparalleled access to the highest echelons of military and political power, they influenced critical decisions during one of history's most dangerous standoffs. This compelling narrative reveals how their legacy has been perpetuated by their disciples, even reaching the corridors of George W. Bush’s administration. With 376 pages of insightful analysis, Robin highlights how the Wohlstetters’ unique blend of brilliance and hubris continues to shape U.S. military policy and national security today. Published by Harvard University Press in 2016, this hardback edition is essential reading for anyone interested in the intricate dynamics of power and influence in international relations.
