As present-day political and military hostilities between Russia
and the West threaten to escalate, The Cold War looks back at a
global drama that positioned the world on the brink of nuclear
Armageddon. Published 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall
and the collapse of Communism in Europe that led to the end of the
Cold War, it is a graphic account of a confrontation that
encompassed 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. Written by leading defence analyst, Dr Norman
Friedman, The Cold War is a fully illustrated account of this
period of crisis, subterfuge and power. Showing rare documents,
such as a 1963 nuclear attack protection booklet produced for
homeowners by the British government, and an official pack for US
troops passing through Checkpoint Charlie, the reader can witness
events as they unfolded. The result is a vivid account of a
historical period that is echoed in today's geopolitical climate.
The Cold War is the perfect companion with which to examine the
events of this tense period of history - events that resonate ever
strongly in this modern era of paranoia and surveillance.
