Inhaltsangabe

A graphic account of this long-running global drama, this newly condensed edition of The Cold War is published in a new era of fear and uncertainty, and to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
 
Encompassing such high-tension conflicts as the Berlin Crisis of 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and the nuclear alerts of 1973 and 1983, The Cold War captures those moments when the world stood on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Written by a leading American defense analyst, Dr. Norman Friedman, this gripping history features 60 photographs and documents—maps, diaries, letters, and items from the Imperial War Museum and other collections. They 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.
