'Matthew Brzezinski's RED MOON RISING fills a significant hole in our understanding of the Cold WarA truly gripping, important book.' Douglas Brinkley, author of THE GREAT DELUGE and THE BOYS OF POINTE DU HOC 'In our fear of terrorist attacks, we forget there was an even more panicky time - when Russia's Sputnik first sped across the night sky in October 1957. Matthew Brzezinski has given us a vivid, insightful account of that paranoid age.' Evan Thomas, author of SEA OF THUNDER and THE WISE MEN
