In the Shadow of Fear

Description

Soviet leader Joseph Stalin tries to build an image as the sole conqueror of the Second World War as he consolidates his grip on Eastern Europe. Within Germany's borders, a game of psychological chicken between east and west leads to the dramatic Berlin Blockade and Airlift. While Americans enjoy unprecedented prosperity, Senator Joseph McCarthy's House on un-American Activities leads a witch-hunt against anyone suspected of pro-communist views. Stalin leads his own witch-hunt within the communist empire. The balancing of the nuclear scales will lead to a climate of fear and mistrust that will last for more than forty years.
