In this episode of Surface Knowledge, we delve into the Cold War, a global conflict marked by the absence of bullets, yet characterized by nukes, spies, proxy wars, and intense political tension that nearly brought the world to the brink.
From how it started after WWII to the Cuban Missile Crisis, Stanislav Petrov, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, we explore the real-world stakes, strange spycraft, cultural influence, and eerie near-misses that made the Cold War one of the most dangerous and fascinating chapters in modern history.
