Looking for books about the Cold War, or even what led to it and its aftermath. I've realised my knowledge of it is very surface level and most of it comes from Hollywood movies and shows.
Fiction, nonfiction, whatever. I'm just really interested in that period and want to learn more about it. I've been reading a ton about Afghanistan lately so that's what got me interested in it.

Since you’re already reading about Afghanistan, pick up a copy of CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR by George Crile, about the congressman who funded & armed the Mujahadeen in their war against the Soviets.
Not Cold War but gulag archipelago helped me understand post war world 2 Russian. Warning: it’s super dark
