I'd like to read a little about the proxy wars that the Soviets and USA fought during the cold war.
I found this one. Anyone know if its any good? or could recommend another?

Eating Propaganda
What do you mean i don't care how your day was?!
Well, what you are asking for is a very specific thing. A work covering wars as proxy wars between the USA and the USSR. I can't say I've been interested in that perspective so, no. But on the book you found, I checked and google books has a pretty wide preview of it, so you can easily see how good it is from reading the sections avaliable there.
really? no books written on the afghani mujahadeen or the sandanistas and nicaraguans?
Some of the necons call the cold war WWIII and the new one (islam) WWIV
Sure there are, but how many that cover them primarily from the perspective of it being a proxy war between the US and the USSR? I've read a book on Nicaragua actually (not in English), but it didn't mention the Soviet Union or the United States very much.
