The Cold War Era dominated politics between the United States and the Soviet Union for more than thirty years. During this time, the two superpowers tried different methods to undermine each other without outright attack. What led to this long period of mutual hostility? This book delves into this question with the help of photographs, primary source documents, historian critiques, and informative explanations.
