THE COLD WAR: HOT POLITICS IN A COLD WAR WORLD (1947-1962)

The term “Cold War” evokes images of nuclear warheads and duck-and-cover drills. How did the USA quickly pivot from ally status with the USSR to entrenched hatred in a few years? The early Cold War will set political and military policy for more than 70 years as it continues to inflame distrust on all sides. Our search includes the USA, USSR, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, culminating in Cuba. Explore the effects of this period world-wide as the once great powers vie for meaning while edging to the brink of catastrophe.
