Sixsmith' Forbes More than any other conflict, the Cold War was
fought on the battlefield of the human mind. Nearly thirty years
since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures:
not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts and fears.
Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives and unseen sources,
Martin Sixsmith vividly recreates the tensions and paranoia of the
Cold War, framing it for the first time from a psychological
perspective. Revisiting towering personalities like Khrushchev,
Kennedy and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who
were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping account of fear
itself - one which is more resonant than ever today.
