 | Iron Curtain
Volume One of COLD WAR - ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) covers the period from the Russian Revolution to the breaking of the Berlin Blockade in 1949. With Nazi Germany defeated, the simmering tensions between Communism and Democracy came to boil. A war-ravaged Europe was ripe for Communist take-over and with Britain exhausted and in debt, America poured billions of dollars into rebuilding its shattered cities and to stave off Communist influence. Stalin's Communist governments in Eastern Europe created two Europe's divided by an "Iron Curtain". Berlin was blocked and threatened with starvation. The West's response was the Berlin airlift- and the scene was set for decades of confrontation…...

Volume two of COLD WAR ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) covers the critical era of the 1950s from the Korean war to the start of the " Space Race ".The world found itself on the brink of nuclear war as the Korean conflict drew in America and the Communist Chinese. Massed Chinese armies threatened to overrun the South through sheer force of numbers. America considered using the Bomb, but the vicious conflict ended in uneasy stalemate. In America , a communist witch hunt threatened to split the nation. Even the death of the arch enemy Stalin and his subsequent denouncement did little to ease the tension between East and West. The arms race was escalating out of control and every home in America was urged to have its own nuclear fall out shelter…...

 | M.A.D.
Volume 3 M.A.D. ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) of COLD WAR reveals the critical events of the 1960s which brought the entire world to the brink of thermonuclear war - and how that war was averted. By the height of the 1960s, America and the Soviet Union were spending a startling total of $50 million every single day on nuclear defence. Neither side could afford to fall behind. The building of the Berlin Wall saw Soviet and American armour in direct confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie. The decision to ship nuclear missiles to Cuba brought the world within a hair's breadth of all-out war. Vietnam, and the Six Day War in the Middle East further exacerbated the almost unbearable tension. Throughout those critical years, one philosophy alone stopped the button from being pushed - the notion of Mutually Assured destruction - or M.A.D. As long as both sides realised that neither could ever win a nuclear war, the missiles stayed in their silos…...

 | Dirty Wars
Volume Four ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) of COLD WAR reveals how, locked in a deadly nuclear stand off and unable to attack each other directly, East and West fought "surrogate wars " throughout the world for power, prestige and influence. Africa became embroiled in numerous bloody civil wars. Israel and its Arab neighbours fought a series of murderous conflicts. The Guevara preached guerrilla revolution in South America and the horrors of Vietnam spilled over into neighbouring Cambodia. In China, Mao set new heights of cultural control and threatened to rival Soviet influence in the world. As tensions grew between the competing Communist superpowers, President Nixon seized the moment to build historic new ties with china. Afraid of the new relationship developing between America and China, the Soviets made fresh overtures to the West. The age of détente had arrived…...

 | Third World Wars
Volume Five ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) of COLD WAR reveals how increasing tensions between the superpowers led to devastating wars across the globe. The emerging nations in Africa and Central and South America were avidly courted by East and West, often resulting in bloody and protracted civil war. The Arab - Israeli wars were essentially East versus West. The war in Angola was fought for the Americans by the South Africans, while the Cubans despatched their troops on Moscow's behalf. The superpowers rarely committed themselves directly and when they did - as in Afghanistan or Vietnam, the experience taught them bitter lessons. Out of the tumult, new interests began to arise. The most radical was Islamic Fundamentalists, and it was to shake the balance of power…...

 | Final Countdown
Volume Six ( contains two videos 180 mins approx ) of COLD WAR chronicles the break up of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold war era. At the start of the Cold War, Soviet Spies were everywhere, while M15 and the CIA found it almost impossible to penetrate the Iron Curtain. However, as the years passed, Western technology proved greatly superior and began to tip the balance. At the same time, the deficiencies in the Communist way of life began to show. In just one year, the entire Eastern Bloc collapsed like a house of cards as the old tyrants were swept away and the notorious Berlin Wall - the ultimate symbol of the Cold War - was reduced to rubblel...
