Cold War
The Cold War (1947–1991) was a global struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union that reshaped the world without ever producing a direct superpower conflict. Beyond the well-known theaters of Korea and Vietnam, this era was defined by nuclear standoffs, covert operations, proxy wars in Africa and Latin America, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the constant shadow of potential nuclear annihilation. The books in this category explore the strategies, crises, and campaigns that defined this tense period — from the Berlin Blockade and Cuban Missile Crisis to the mujahedin resistance and the collapse of the Soviet empire.
