Historian Dominic Sandbrook explores the impact of the Cold War on British politics, culture and everyday society. Rather than focusing on missiles and summits, the series examines how the East-West conflict shaped the national imagination through spy scandals, James Bond films, protest records, consumerism vs communism, and widespread fears of nuclear annihilation—from the late 1950s through to the 1980s.
