Overview: Bridget Kendall presents an oral history tracing decisive moments of the Cold War.
The Cold War is one of the furthest-reaching and longest-lasting conflicts in modern history. It spanned the globe – from Greece to China, Hungary to Cuba – and lasted for almost half a century. It has shaped political relations to this day, drawing new physical and ideological boundaries between East and West.
Bridget Kendall explores the Cold War through the eyes of those who experienced it first-hand. This landmark series draws on exclusive interviews with individuals who lived through the conflict’s key events, offering a variety of perspectives that reveal how the Cold War was experienced by ordinary people. From pilots making food drops during the Berlin Blockade and Japanese fishermen affected by H-bomb testing, to families fleeing the Korean War and children whose parents were victims of McCarthy’s Red Scare, Cold War covers the full geographical and historical reach of the conflict. This is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand how the tensions of the last century have shaped the modern world, and what it was like to live through them.
