An interesting video-musical montage of the Cold War: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSeRfUr0TPI Do you think this is a good quick representation of the mood during that time? I realise that most members here probably don't even remember any of it. The background music by Louie Armstrong adds to the ironic shadings of the two big WWII allies ending up in a apocalyptic arms-race.
I think it was on the right path, but I honestly thought it was a little bit too short to think of it as a great representation of the mood.
