Are works on WWII written during the Cold War worth reading nowadays? With all the new information we have from opened archives in post-Soviet states aren't pre-1990 lacking in detail?

A lot of them are quite good, especially if they deal with matters not impacted by Soviet actions; for instance, Bomber Command is very good, and ultimately, what the Russians were or weren't doing has only tangential impact on a book that's principally about the institutional struggles within the RAF and how the British developed their air doctrine.

Well yeah, naturally. I supposed I should have clarified that I was refering to works that deal with Soviet actions.

depends what the works were on. the 1900s were more a geopolitical realignment/stabalisation, people are still the same. evolution doesnt change that fast in 3 generations.
perhaps a greater awareness with a higher potential socio consciousness but there is a lot more physical and channel noise in the communications so its held up a lot (process of reformation of such being removed). dont be a problem but dont close your eyes and shut off your pineal gland
