The Clever Teens' Guide to the Cold War: The perfect guide for background reading or revision.

From the end of World War Two to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the world lived within the shadow of the Cold War. For almost half a century the East and the West eyed each other with suspicion and often hostility. Two ideologies, two political systems, two cultures, two superpowers fought for dominance, each firm in the belief that history would prove them right.

And all the time the threat of World War Three remained a distinct possibility, the spectre of nuclear weapons a constant fear.

The Clever Teens’ Guide to The Cold War provides a concise account of the political tensions that arose as the world rebuilt after World War Two - an era beset by the constant fear of nuclear weapons and the looming threat of a Third World War.

Fully illustrated with contemporary photos.
