Cold War History: Navigating a New Era of Uncertainty for the Economy (The History of the Emergency Cold War Bunker Designed for Congress During a Nuclear War)

This book pulls back the curtain on that hidden history. It doesn’t simply recount battles, treaties, or speeches from powerful leaders. Instead, it brings you into the daily lives of ordinary people who dared to dream, resist, and endure. You’ll read about workers striking in shipyards, students risking prison for freedom, spies who played dangerous double games, and families who carried hope across barbed borders. From the classrooms of east berlin to the candlelit protests of prague, from nuclear drills in american schools to the triumphant tearing down of the berlin wall, these stories reveal the human heartbeat of a divided world.Inside you will read about...•America in the antebellum era•Secession and the first shots•Early battles and the turning point: april 1861-july 1863•The united states and the confederacy•Women and blacks in the war•Military events, 1863-1865: the war ends•Reconstruction•The legacy of the civil warThe cold war was international affairs for the second half of the 20th century. Nuclear weapons testing, civil wars in all corners of the globe and the race for economic dominance were all key spheres of the cold war, although they were just a few elements of a very complex global puzzle. More so than the great battles between carthage and rome in ancient times or the napoleonic wars, the cold war defined our world. But, there was one key difference between the cold war and earlier major wars. Due to advances in technology and communications, the cold war touched most countries on earth.
