'From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron
curtain has descended across the Continent.' So said Winston
Churchill in 1946. About to begin was Britain's most expensive and
turbulent periods of military history. This is the story of
Britain's Cold War, and it deals with all aspects of this chilling
time when Britain could have been obliterated so easily by the
unleashing of Russian Nuclear Weapons. The Cold War was like no
other conflict yet experienced. It was more than a struggle between
two superpowers, it was a war of ideologies, the Capitalistic West
and the Communist East. The Cold War leached its way into every
facet of British life to the extent it was not really considered a
war at all. But a war it was. The period was punctuated by an arms
race which pushed the world to the edge of destruction, as both
East and West amassed arsenals of nuclear weapons far beyond what
would be needed to destroy, quite literally, everything. So what
part did Britain play in all this? Read on and find out!
