Ten years later, now less gangly but no less introspective, he was finishing a two-year stint in the army in West Germany and heading toward Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, having narrowly escaped combat in the Berlin crisis of 1961. His quietly intense coming-of-age story is both self-revealing and reflective of an entire generation of young men 410 0$aSingular lives. 606 $aCold War 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1945- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a973.92 676 $a973.92092 700 $aPost$b Gaines$f1937-$0986309 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456112903321 996 $aMemoirs of a Cold War son$92254246 997 $aUNINA
