A graphic account of this long-running global drama, The Compact
Guide: The Cold War is published in a new era of fear and
uncertainty. It encompasses moments of high tension, such as the
Berlin Crisis of 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the
nuclear alerts of 1973 and 1983. At several times the world stood
on the brink of nuclear Armageddon, but these dangerous moments all
ended with both sides drawing back, until the long confrontation
ended peacefully. Written by a leading American defence analyst, Dr
Norman Friedman, The Compact Guide: The Cold War is supplemented
with 60 photographs and documents that allow the reader to witness
the events as they unfolded. Maps, diaries, letters and other items
which, up till now, have remained filed or exhibited in the
Imperial War Museum and other museum collections in Northern Europe
and America include a 1963 nuclear attack protective booklet
produced for homeowners by the British government and the official
pack for US troops passing through Checkpoint Charlie, with
practical advice on visiting Communist-controlled East Berlin.
