We are pleased to share that The Labyrinth We Walked: The Cold War Deconstructed, a collection of essays by longstanding Montreal Review contributor Mark C. Jensen, has been named a 2024 finalist in History by both Foreword Indies and the National Indie Excellence awards. Each of the book's eight essays explores a major question or common misconception about the Cold War, and six first appeared in The Montreal Review. A Kirkus reviewer observed that Jensen's "greatest skill is synthesizing the complexities of historical developments to make them more accessible, while mixing in a liberal dose of pop culture."

"I would never have been able to complete this collection, much less find a publisher, without the platform and structure provided by the Montreal Review," Jensen observes.  "Editor and publisher Tony Tsonchev is so dedicated to the publication of serious long form writing and scholarship on a huge range of subjects, styles and points of view.  The Review is a tremendous resource for both writers and readers, and we should all do what we can to support it."
