Cold War Stalemate (DVD)

For 45 years from the end of World War 2 until the fall of communism in 1990 the world barely survived a precarious and critical period of history as the two superpowers played a precise and never ending series of strategic games set upon the world stage. The Cold War brings to mind many iconic views of the latter half of the past century. The Berlin Airlift, The Berlin Wall, The Cuban Missile Crisis and Russian tanks in Budapest. It featured larger than life characters such as Stalin, Mao, Churchill, Castro, Truman, Kennedy, Ho Chi Minh, Brezhnev, Kruschev, Gorbachev, Thatcher and Reagan. It was an on-going game played by intelligence agents in the streets of London, New York and Moscow. It was a game with a series of major but fortunately non-nuclear wars such as Korea and Vietnam as well as smaller but costly guerrilla wars in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
