       2015., Alfred A. Knopf Call No: 940.53 B985r   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Making use of previously classified materials from the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History, and the Archive of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation, as well as the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and three hundred hot war messages between Roosevelt and Stalin, Butler tells the story of how the leader of the capitalist world and the leader of the Communist world became more than allies of convenience during World War II. Butler reassess in-depth how the two men became partners, how they shared the same outlook for the postwar world, and how they formed an uneasy but deep friendship, shaping the worldœs political stage from the war to the decades leading up to and into the new century.

      By Donovan, James B. (James Britt), 1916-1970  Matthews, Jason, 1951-
       2015., Adult, Scribner Call No: 327.12 D687s   Edition: First Scribner trade paperback edition ; movie tie-in edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Now a major motion picture Bridge of Spies directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks. Originally published in 1964, this is the insider account of the Cold War spy exchange -- with a new foreword by Jason Matthews. On February 10, 1962, American lawyer and negotiator James B. Donovan began his walk toward the center of the Glienicke Bridge, the famous "Bridge of Spies" which then linked West Berlin to the Russian-controlled East. With him, walked Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, the captured master Soviet spy. Approaching them from the other side was Francis Gary Powers, the American U-2 spy plane pilot famously shot down by the Soviets, whose exchange for Abel Donovan had negotiated. Abel was the most gifted, the most mysterious, the most effective spy of his time. His trial, which began in a Brooklyn United States District Court and ended in the Supreme Court of the United States, chillingly revealed the methods and successes of Soviet espionage. No one was better equipped to tell the whole absorbing history than James B. Donovan, the American lawyer appointed to defend one of his country's enemies and who did so with scrupulous skill. A fast-paced memoir and dark character study that reads like a noirish espionage thriller. From Donovan's first interview with Abel to the exchange on the bridge in Berlin"--Provided by publisher.

      By Matlock, Jack F
       c2010., Yale University Press Call No: 327.73009 M425s    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Former U.S. ambassador to the USSR Jack F. Matlock refutes the idea that the United States forced the collapse of the Soviet Union--with wide-ranging implications for U.S. foreign policy. Matlock argues that Gorbachev, not Reagan, undermined Communist Party rule in the Soviet Union, and that the Cold War ended in a negotiated settlement that benefited both sides. He posits that the end of the Cold War diminished American power; with the removal of the Soviet threat, allies were less willing to accept American protection and leadership that seemed increasingly to ignore their interests. Matlock shows how, during the Clinton and particularly the Bush-Cheney administrations, the belief that the United States had defeated the Soviet Union led to a conviction that it did not need allies, international organizations, or diplomacy, but could dominate the world by using its military power unilaterally. The result has compromised America's ability to lead.--From publisher description.

      By Finn, Peter, 1962-
       2014., Adult, Pantheon Books Call No: 891.73 F514z    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "How a forbidden book in the Soviet Union became a secret CIA weapon in the ideological battle between East and West. In May 1956, an Italian publishing scout took a train to a village just outside Moscow to visit Russia's greatest living poet, Boris Pasternak. He left carrying the original manuscript of Pasternak's first and only novel, entrusted to him with these words: 'This is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world.' Pasternak believed his novel was unlikely ever to be published in the Soviet Union, where the authorities regarded it as an irredeemable assault on the 1917 Revolution. But he thought it stood a chance in the West and, indeed, beginning in Italy, Doctor Zhivago was widely published in translation throughout the world. From there the life of this extraordinary book entered the realm of the spy novel. The CIA, which recognized that the Cold War was above all an ideological battle, published a Russian-language edition of Doctor Zhivago and smuggled it into the Soviet Union. Copies were devoured in Moscow and Leningrad, sold on the black market, and passed surreptitiously from friend to friend. Pasternak's funeral in 1960 was attended by thousands of admirers who defied their government to bid him farewell. The example he set launched the great tradition of the writer-dissident in the Soviet Union. A literary thriller that takes us back to a fascinating period of the Cold War -- to a time when literature had the power to stir the world"--Provided by publisher.
