The Cold War remains one of the twentieth century's defining
events, possessing broad political, social, and material
implications that continue to have impact. In this book, Todd
Hanson presents nine case studies of archaeological investigations
conducted at famous-and some not so famous-historic American Cold
War sites, including Bikini Atoll, the Nevada Test Site, and the
Cuban sites of the Soviet Missile Crisis. By examining nuclear
weapons test sites, missile silos, submarine bases, fallout
shelters, and more, Hanson illustrates how archaeology can help
strip away myths, secrets, and political rhetoric to better inform
our understanding of the conflict's formative role in the making of
the contemporary American landscape. Addressing modern
ramifications of the Cold War, Hanson also looks at the
preservation of atomic heritage sites, the atomic tourism
phenomenon, and the struggles of atomic veterans.
