    The cold war is so fascinating. Not a shot was fired but both countries were just constantly playing chess with each other.

    When the pressure is on, humans really push things to the limit. The incredible and horrible things that have come from various militaries over the last century are mind-blowing to me.

      Have you watched Thirteen Days? I'm a sucker for political/historical dramas, and I love this one. If you like the Cold War, you probably will enjoy it. That said, you've probably seen it!
