1989: The Year that Changed the World by Michael Mayer.
Looks at events leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakup of the Soviet Union, would highly recommend it.

The Cold War by John Lewis Gaddis will give a pretty good broad knowledge on topic. I personally love the espionage of the period so I'd recommend A Spy Among Friends by Ben MacIntyre which specifically goes into the Kim Philby madness.
