Summary

The Berlin Airlift. The Korean War. The Cuban Missile Crisis. The Space Race. Vietnam. Detente. Reagan. Solidarity. Gorbachev. The tales of these earth-shaking milestones have been always been told as a series of individual events, completely apart from each other. But they were not individual events; they were individual threads in the tapestry of the Apocalypse That Didn’t Happen. And because they were all part of the same ongoing story, they need to be treated that way. Check out the new 12-part podcast series, "The Cold War: What We Saw." Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere you listen to podcasts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

but the story is so well told and the setting is so brilliantly descriptive that as you go through

these events, you start to understand the battle not only for economic freedom, but for civilization
