They conclude that the strategy of deterrence prolonged rather than ended the conflict between the superpowers.

They've got it just right. It is a dangerous conclusion that the West won the Cold War. The argument that one side won the Cold War is mistaken. We all lost the Cold War, particularly the USA and the USSR. We all won by ending it. That is the scientific conclusion. -- Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev
