The Cold War Chronicles provides an in-depth look at each component of the conflict, including the role of nuclear weapons, the advent of the space race, specific diplomatic actions and policy shifts in both nations, and the clash between political ideologies. The series explores how tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union had a profound effect on people?s lives around the world, a legacy that continues to influence international relations today.
