An objective analysis of Cold War facts versus the myths, ideologies, and propaganda surrounding events and misunderstandings of the Cold War.

Far from fading into the mists of the past, the Cold War and related topics of NATO and nuclear weapon use continue to appear in headlines today. But do we truly understand the Cold War and its impact? Exploring topics such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, and the continuation of Communism, this book clarifies common misconceptions about the Cold War and helps readers understand what actually happened. Whether wondering about Cold War spies or the role of the Manhattan Project, readers will find answers and truths in this newest addition to our Historical Facts and Fictions series.
