The book is written in a lively and sharp style, which - along with a vivid film of facts - continuously keeps the attention of the reader who likes nonfiction full of twists and a certain cynicism imposed by the topic.
The book explains how, after 1945, the world was divided into two opposing blocs: the Western (led by the USA) and the Eastern (led by the Soviet Union).
