The Cold War did not erupt into another conflict on the scale of World War I or World War II. Instead it raged around the globe through proxy wars in Korea to Vietnam, in nervous stand-offs between East and West in Berlin and Cuba, and in covert operations from Afghanistan to Africa to Latin America. In fact, the Cold War went further than the World Wars: the propaganda war was even fought in Space.As a war of nerves this was a conflict characterised by amassing ever greater armaments, of ostentatious shows of strengths, of watching the enemy, of stealth and espionage. From the Soviet Union's largest submarine bases to Britain's nuclear bunkers, from radar stations in San Francisco Bay to Arizona's aircraft graveyards, and from listening posts in West Germany to cosmodromes in Kazakhstan, Abandoned Cold War Places explores the whole span of the conflict, from open conflict to listening posts to guerilla wars.Featuring 150 striking colour photographs, Abandoned Cold War Places is a fascinating visual history of the relics left at the end of the war of nerves.
