The Cold War

For nearly half a century, the world lived under the shadow of nuclear war. The Cold War divided continents, reshaped governments, and turned political rivalry into an global standoff between rival ideologies.

This collection explores how communism and capitalism came into conflict after the Second World War, how nuclear weapons transformed diplomacy and warfare, and how flashpoints such as Berlin and Cuba brought the superpowers to the brink. Through figures like John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, it traces the personalities and pressures behind decisions that could have ended civilisation.
