More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. Three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures in our politics, but also in our own thoughts and fears. Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives, Martin Sixsmith vividly re-creates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, and—framing the struggle from a psychological perspective—creates fresh portraits of Khrushchev, Kennedy, and Nixon.
