'The Cold War' series tells the compelling story of the dangerous rivalry between two opposing superpowers - the USA and the USSR - and their respective allies. The period of the Cold War - the mid-1940s to the 1980s - was tainted by intrigue, suspicion and power games that threatened on occasion to engulf the whole human race in nuclear holocaust.
How was the end of the Cold War brought about? The changing relationship between the USA and the USSR during the 1970s and 1980s is looked at here in detail. The effects of the continuing arms debate, President Gorbachev's policy of openness and the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe are thoroughly explored to provide the answer.
