Walter Isaacson, Aspen Institute President and CEO:
"This is an invaluable eye-witness account of the diplomatic fronts of the Cold War, a great resource for scholars, and a wonderful tale for those of us who love history." |
Cold War Saga gives an insider's view of the global confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States and its allies. The author, veteran diplomat Kempton Jenkins, was directly involved in this epic struggle from its beginning in 1950 through 1980.

Ernest B. Ferguson, former Baltimore Sun bureau chief in Moscow, Saigon, and Washington:
"There is no substitute for the first-person testimony of the man who was there — in the head-to-head confrontations in Moscow and Berlin and the Third World — in the decades when East and West struggled for supremacy. Jenkins was there at every turn; his memoir is a unique personal story and a valuable document in diplomatic history." |
"Kempton Jenkins has marshaled the insight gained through an intimate experience into an absorbing and illuminating account of the labyrinth of Cold War politics. His memoir is so well-written and revealing that it towers over most other works on the subject."
