WAR BOOK OF THE COLD WAR

Over a period of decades, from the close of the Second World War to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Cold War came to define the latter half of the 20th century. A conflict unlike any that had come before it, the Cold War's battlegrounds were as much in the hearts and minds of citizens around the world as they were in the myriad combat zones that stretched from Vietnam to Cuba. The warring ideologies of the West and the East, led by their respective superpowers, brought the world to the brink of total annihilation on more than one occasion, and gave rise to some of the most iconic political figures in world history. In the History of War Book of the Cold War we explore the most fascinating events of this iconic conflict, from the origins of the Iron Curtain, to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Delve into the Cold War like never before, through stunning photography, expert commentary and eyewitness accounts.
