    It might be because I was a child of the early 80's, but I've always had a fascination with the machinations of the Cold War. From the posturing of Stalin; to Reagan demanding that they tear down the wall. I'll get the ball rolling by recommending the Cold War Series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8hNHC9nbLlzb4miGp5pZPYCk9Zw0dGke Anything to add?

    Fictionwise: Tom Clany's Red storm rising.
    Early days of Eastern Europe/Iron Curtain I'd recommend works by Anne Applebaum such as her "Iron Curtain" and a recent book "1946".

    We have a whole forum on the matter...

    I rather enjoyed "Cold war Hot", which is alternate history series based on the premise of "What would happen if just one different decision was made", such as "A MiG pilot got too aggressive during the Berlin Airlift"
