Does the book mention anything about events prior to the 1980s (e.g. Khrushchev’s replacement by Brezhnev)? does it mention anything about Eastern European efforts to cast-off the Soviet yoke?

yes...but not really, it's more about the internal so there is a lot about Brezhnev and the Brezhnev Doctrine (Never give up territory), but not about what was happening outside of the Soviet Union.

My instructor is a conservative and she assigned the book for us to argue it. So she picked a good one. The book actually gives credit to the teachings of Islam for the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan. So I've got a lot of stuff about the CIA and stingers.
