"For years, historians have dug into the archives, exploring the nuances of how the cold war was fought. But there is no substitute for the first-person testimony of the man who was there -- in the pit -- in the head-to-head confrontations of Moscow and Berlin and the Third World, in the decades when East and West were struggling for supremacy. Kempton Jenkins was there at every turn. His memoir is a unique personal story as well as a valuable document in diplomatic history"--review by Ernest B. Furgurson, from p. 4 of cover.
