Simon Sebag Montefiore'Johnson's career - as writer, editor, cold warrior and accomplished chess player - makes him the ideal author. When he describes the games, the key moments and the clinching moves, his judgement carries the necessary air of authority.' Mary Dejevsky, Independent'Daniel Johnson reveals not only his sure grasp of the political history, but a remarkable ability to make even the most complex chess matches exciting for non-enthusiasts... While Johnson's touch is light and often humorous, his book is a major contribution to the story of cultural warfare during the Cold War.' Michael Burleigh, Scotsman'Daniel Johnson's enthusiasm shines from every page of this book, which provides a wealth of fabulous details and illuminating insights.' Oliver Marre, Catholic Herald'Very well-written, beautifully plotted, continually interesting with its range of astonishing egos, and a unique addition to our historical knowledge.' Robert Conquest
