The Cold War did not metastasize overnight sometime during 1946 or 1947. It was brought about by the ghosts of the world wars. In this excerpt from his book on the subject, Derek Leebaert sets the stage for the Cold War by discussing America and American attitudes in 1945.
Stalin's agents routinely arrested and killed "enemies of the people." Communist Party workers then tried to remove any trace of these people from the photographic archives and the media. A fascinating virtual exhibit.
