- Im 50 now, and i remember being told around 5 years old the high risk of nuclear war with the soviet union. I would shake at night, and i have a vague memory of going through the drills in elementary school.
- A few years earlier, my grade 9 social studies class at st cecilias was incredibly pessimistic. The overwhelming majority of us indicated in a vote that we believed there would be a soviet us nuclear war by the end of the 80s.
- I was in grade 8 through the gulf war and the news was always on in my house so i remember all of the ending of the cold war.
- We used to have little tiny gray bugs that my dad used to call khrushchev bugs. Ah. The cold war years.
- Wild that the cia once took psychic warfare seriously. But when the stakes are world-ending, even the weirdest ideas get a budget.
- Thats cold war tradecraft at its boldest- steal a soviet spacecraft, study it all night, put it back before anyone wakes up.
- Once there, she became an unwitting participant in covert cia experiments known as mk-ultra. The cold war project tested the effects of psychedelic drugs like lsd, electroshock treatments and brainwashing techniques on human beings without their consent.
- Crazy but truethe cias cold war heart attack gun could kill without leaving a trace.
- Im about 23 of the way through nuclear war by annie jacobsen. Its a minute-by-minute account of what the government would be doing in the 30 minutes it takes a north korean icbm to make it to the us and in the immediate aftermath.
- Suggest me a non-fiction book from the cold war era, specifically to do with espionage and kgb i just finished watching the tv series the americans for the first time and want to pick up a non-fiction book that delves into the lives of spies from that era.
- If you like the cold war, ben macintyres book the spy and the traitor was one i could not put down.
- I loved those books as a kid young teen due to my dad being a fan. I learned so much about the cold war from them.
- We lived through the cold war, and i swear the constant fear of impending thermonuclear apocalypse was less than the existential fear of shit going on right now.
- I often find myself longing for the cold war. Given that i grew up three miles as the crow flies from norad--and we all knew what that was up there on cheyenne mountain--it feels really strange to write that.
- As a cold war kid, i always assumed the end of the world would come in a blinding flash. Little did i know that it would end in blinding stupidity.
- I really really hate that i have chats with my young kids to the effect of, president poopy pants will absolutely manufacture some kind of crisis to cancel the next election. What i wouldnt give to be a kid again during the reagan years and only have to worry about checks notes .nuclear war.
