Cold War history / culture / anything is possibly my majorest passion, so a CW playlist is my best idea ever. I invite you to peruse it and please make suggestions for new video additions!
I'm definitely looking for cultural items as well as straight politico-military history, although not every movie or TV show from the era will count (eg.: 'Dr. Strangelove' = big yes, but 'Leave It To Beaver' = not so much). Some more modern things with a CW influence are also here. At the same time, my intention is not to have it chockablock with nuclear test explosions (I have another playlist for that -- that and kitties).
Basically all vids should have some linkage with the tension and drama of the 40-year nuclear-armed superpower standoff. I look forward to your ideas!
