Written for the undergraduate student and interested general reader, this 5-volume encyclopedia offers entries in an A-Z format on the ideologies, people, countries, organizations, and events of the Cold War. Two initial essays by Tucker describe the origins and course of the Cold War from 1950 and 1991, which marked the end of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union. A glossary, chronology, and bibliography are included in Vol. 4. Volume Five is filled with 171 primary sources, including Joseph McCarthy's speech on the spread of Communism, the Equal Rights Amendment, and a number of speeches by American presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. For 6 years, Tucker taught military history at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington and for 30 years at Texas Christian U. in Fort Worth; he was an army captain and an intelligence analyst in the Pentagon.
