any suggestions for Cold War books?

[MisterP]

I'm looking for professional historians' books on the New Cold War--1976-89, with Angola, Zimbabwe, Grenada, Morocco, Suriname, Libya, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala...

I need good stuff on the post-Vietnam, post-Nixon, neoconservative, neoliberal period, the anticommunist motivations of Oliver North, Reagan, John Negroponte, William Casey, Sun Myung Moon and John Singlaub's World Anti-Communist League, Richard Secord, etc., etc.

and I want to see someone beside Judi Lynn and Octafish posting here! ;) :P
