In a time of heightened fear and uncertainty, a new publication emerges to chronicle the enduring global drama of the Cold War. The Compact Guide: The Cold War delves into pivotal moments of tension, including the Berlin Crisis of 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and the nuclear alerts of 1973 and 1983. The world teetered on the brink of nuclear Armageddon on multiple occasions, but each dangerous crisis ultimately resolved itself through a process of withdrawal by both sides. This prolonged confrontation eventually concluded peacefully.
Authored by renowned American defense analyst Dr. Norman Friedman, The Compact Guide: The Cold War is complemented by a collection of 60 photographs and documents that provide a visual glimpse into the unfolding events. These include maps, diaries, letters, and other historically significant items previously housed in the Imperial War Museum and other museum collections in Northern Europe and America. Among these is a 1963 nuclear attack protective booklet produced for homeowners by the British government, as well as an official pack for US troops passing through Checkpoint Charlie, offering practical advice on visiting Communist-controlled East Berlin.
The Compact Guide: The Cold War serves as a comprehensive and insightful exploration of this pivotal period in world history, offering a deeper understanding of the events, personalities, and geopolitical strategies that shaped the era. Through its rich content and visual aids, the book provides a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, fostering a deeper appreciation for the complexities and consequences of the Cold War.
