Coles History on Ice: The Cold War Uncovered at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Spies, nukes, revolutions, moustaches - and the long, absurd war that shaped the world without ever officially starting. After the Freeze is a bold, unfiltered history of the Cold War - told not with tweed-jacket nostalgia, but with teeth, wit, and a blowtorch aimed at state-sanctioned myth. From the rubble of Berlin to the rice fields of Vietnam, from the paranoia of McCarthyism to the fall of the Soviet Union, this is history in its full, messy, human sprawl. Historian Martin Foskett drags the Cold War out of the archives and into the daylight, blending immersive narrative with dark humour and cinematic clarity. You'll meet CIA meddlers, Kremlin strongmen, revolutionary poets, disco-dancing diplomats, and factory workers who brought empires to their knees. This is not the version your textbook gave you.
This is the Cold War as it happened - warts, cracks, cock-ups and all. If you want:
The truth behind the headlines
The humanity behind the history
And a narrative that makes sense of the madness
... Then this is your briefing.
No jargon. No whitewash. Just history with teeth.
