The Cold War is one of the furthest-reaching and longest-lasting
conflicts in modern history. It spanned the globe - from Greece to
China, Hungary to Cuba - and lasted for almost half a century. It
has shaped political relations to this day, drawing new physical
and ideological boundaries between East and West. In this
meticulously researched account, Bridget Kendall explores the Cold
War through the eyes of those who experienced it first-hand.
Alongside in-depth analysis that explains the historical and
political context, the book draws on exclusive interviews with
individuals who lived through the conflict's key events, offering a
variety of perspectives that reveal how the Cold War was
experienced by ordinary people. From pilots making food drops
during the Berlin Blockade and Japanese fishermen affected by
H-bomb testing to families fleeing the Korean War and children
whose parents were victims of McCarthy's Red Scare, The Cold War
covers the full geographical and historical reach of the conflict.
The Cold War is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand
how the tensions of the last century have shaped the modern world,
and what it was like to live through them.
