- Summary:
- "This is the story of America at her peak: a world power deluging the population with consumer goods and entertainment to distract from the fear of nuclear war and the hyper competition with the USSR and China. It allows the reader to understand the impacts of the Cold War on American culture, psyche and politics. A Long Cold War is cultural history covering 1945-1991. Written in an almanac or journal form, it gives the reader details about daily life and international events, from the headlines as they happened and with summaries of average salaries and prices, and the books, music, movies and television shows of the times. It is a good read for the history-minded and the casual reader as well, in its entirety or as a trip down Memory Lane for those with nostalgia for specific years."--Provided by publisher.
