“The winds of change were never warm.”

This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

This version is free, because truth should be.

  • The part about making an e-book made me mistake this for a book, my bad. Its also why I made recommendations towards footnotes.

    As i said, I do specifically like your writing style.

    Ego? Maybe. Maybe some autistic desire to see what I think is wrong corrected. I dont really know.
    Not being the audience? Not sure how you determine that.

    Since you seem to already know of the book, I’m not sure you will be interested in my work, it is simply transforming a scanned PDF version into EPUB, its the same book with the same words, nothing new or interesting.

      I am autistic as well, please don’t use our diagnosis thrown around like this, it furthers the stigma against us. Additionally, we can’t use autism as a crutch or excuse. It’s not okay.

      Thank you for taking the time to read.
