15 to 12 Marks(5): 85 Points

Book Review: Gaddis, The Cold War-A New History

Book Review
Students will write a book review for John Lewis Gaddis’, The Cold War: A New History. Book Reviews should be between 750-1000 words (approximately 3-4 pages) in length. Book reviews are not book reports. Rather, a book review is an opportunity for you to summarize and critically assess the authors’ arguments, ideas, and evidence presented in the text. A well-written book review will also answer the ’so what?’ question; how is the book/this author’s arguments important to the study of the Cold War or global politics and history.

Some questions to consider as you write your review
1. How has Gaddis presented and interpreted the Cold War?
2. How would you describe his writing style?
3. What are the strengths of this book?
4. What is the overall value of this book & why?
5. How could Gaddis improve this book in a second edition?
