INTRODUCTION TO THE COLD WAR

“Living in the Shadow of the Bomb”

This is a picture of the cover of a Super 8 film from the 1950's. The movie portrays a man who flys through a huge cloud of radation, and eventully turns in the the blood beast.  These films were stories of what nuclear war could do to an individual. Capitalizing on the fear of American citizens.

This cartoon shows a group of people sitting around enjoying the day, however the caption remarks,"if only there was no Russia.". This displays how  cold war was always an underlying fear
