NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #97 of #GMGReads! Every night through this weird (and sad) time, I've been tweeting out a list of my five favorite books around a general theme—and a link to an indie bookstore where you can order them online....

Tonight, wrapping up a week of Cold War-themed titles, books about every stage of the Cold War, from start to finish, with "Armageddon" in their title:

1) Max Hastings's ARMAGEDDON tells the story of the fall of the Third Reich: strandbooks.com/product/978037…

2) Alice George's (@Alicelgeorge) AWAITING ARMAGEDDON is a surprisingly fun and deeply researched cultural examination of how Americans reacted to and lived the Cuban Missile Crisis: magersandquinn.com/product_info?p…

3) Dee Garrison's BRACING FOR ARMAGEDDON is a portrait of the Cold War at home in America and how civil defense efforts floundered: magersandquinn.com/product_info?p…
