Yeah, the title would be a nice thing to include, right? The Last Hot Battle of the Cold War by Peter Polack.

As I get further in, I see some strong points and some weak points. The author has done his homework. He names a lot of names. He lists leaders on both sides down to a fairly low level, and he names many of the casualties. There are enough copy editing errors for them to be an ongoing distraction. The author's sentence structure reminds me of my own. Unfortunately, this is not working out for my comprehension. I'm obliged to ask myself if my writing style needs an overhaul.
