Description: From the smouldering aftermath of World War II to the fall of the Berlin Wall and beyond, this sweeping account traces the ideological rift that divided the globe for nearly half a century. Journey through the tense arithmetic of nuclear brinkmanship, the covert battles of spies and proxy conflicts, and the soaring ambitions of the Space Race, all set against the everyday lives shaped by propaganda and fear. With clarity and insight, it examines how culture, politics and technology collided in an age of superpowers — and reveals why the shadows of that era still stretch across our world today.
