Publishers Description: The United Nations sat for the first time in 1946, its charter expressing lofty aims regarding worldwide peace and security. The Iron and Bamboo curtains descended rapidly, leaving the world divided between communism and capitalism, in a nuclear race and delicate balance based on mutually assured destruction.The Cold War played out in Korea, The Cuban Missle Crisis, Vietnam, the disintegration of the Eastern bloc, Algeria, Angola, Kenya, Congo, Pakistan and India. Although a third world war has been averted, and the use of nuclear weapons confined to testing, war remains an ever-present evil.
