it's a fictional tv show and not a book, but the fx show "The Americans" does a pretty good job of covering 80s era Cold War topics (Apartheid South Africa, Communist Ethiopia, Sandinistas, Afghanistan). It added a bit of flavor to my understanding of those events. a good, surprisingly sympathetic (to ussr/communism) show
