I am doing a research paper on the different factions in the Angolan war of indepence and and civil war. For this paper, I need to analyze original publications from the FNLA and the UNITA. Are there any online collections of their periodicals? Thank you in advance!

Thought this group would be interested. This is from the back of the book: Ever since the development of the atomic bomb in 1945, the world has lived under the threat of nuclear war. The early years of the Cold War transposed the fear of atomic weapons onto the fear of Communism that was a threat to American ways. By the 1980s, the citizens of the world had enough of nuclear anxiety, and Communism no longer seemed to be an existential threat. Operation Panic revisits the fears and anxieties—and the imagined future—of a world changed by atomic weapons. Operation Panic: Cold War Stories of the Atomic Bomb is an anthology of short fiction originally published between 1946 and 1980, with stories focusing on the use of atomic weapons and images of Cold War propaganda and atomic bomb tests. This collection features stories from Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Judith Merril, Hugh Hood, Fritz Leiber, Philip Wylie, Roger Angell, Carol Amen, James Blish, along with many others.

Hey, I'm writing a script connected to Nuclear War breaking out in 1983 set in the U.K, à la Threads. What books should I read that can give me the best idea about how that would pan out? This can include prospective scenarios and general histories of Cold War UK. I already have an eye on Nuclear War in the U.K by Taras Young, but I'm looking for extra materials. Thanks!

Anyone have any interesting facts?

I am looking for some information about an incident which had occurred suring the Cold War involving the NSA, FBI and a guy who managed to leave the NSA HQ at Fort Meade, Maryland with a briefcase of classified documents without being checked at the gate due to a pass that was signed by the Director. My grandfather, who was a Marine security guard there sometime around 1959 or 1960, mentioned that a Marine who had been their before him told him of these events.

Writing a Cold War in Film paper and would like to know when the rumors about Kim Philby being a triple agent sprouted.

I know it’s incredibly unlikely he was one, but I’m writing a paper about The Executioner, and that could sorta like to it maybe

I've been searching the internet to no avail. NATO policy during the cold war was that if The Warsaw pact launched an invasion of West Germany, then they would respond with a small barrage of nukes in a less populated area. If the invasion continued they would lunch more volleys of nukes at serious targets until they stop or there's nothing left. (Please correct me if I'm wrong I feel like MAD would make this an unsuccessful policy.)

Anyway, I'm trying to find out the equivalent Soviet Policy. What was their Red Line? What would have made them lunch first outside of a first strike.

Any books or references on this Subject would be helpful as well. Thx :)

Can someone recommend books on the revolutions of 1989 that led to the fall of most communist countries around the world? And from a critical perspective of these revolutions, possibly providing evidence on western influence, and also that speak to what came after/ if the societies are better/worse off etc.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I realise we're just outside the Cold War with this query, so apologies if it's inappropriate. My reasoning is it's an immediate consequence of the conflict.

If I'm not breaking any rules, can anyone recommend anything per the above, please? I've taken delivery of a boardgame focused on the Bosnian war today and I'm keen to get a much better understanding of the period. The rulebook does a good job of contextualising the cards, but I need something more in depth.

A cursory Google/Wiki is proving less than ideal.

Thanks in advance.

I am doing a research paper on the Angolan civil war for my class on foreign relations. I am particularly interested in how the war was influenced by US, Soviet, and Chinese intervention. Any recommendations are appreciated, but books that have free online versions are preferred. Thank you!
