The Cold War was more than just a standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union—it was a battle fought in the shadows. From top-secret spy missions to global propaganda campaigns, the struggle for power shaped the modern world in ways still felt today.

This audiobook uncovers the hidden world of espionage, double agents, nuclear threats, and psychological warfare. Learn about the CIA vs. KGB, the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the secret operations that defined an era of fear and suspicion.

The Secrets of the Cold War – Spies, Propaganda, and Power is a must-listen for history lovers, intelligence enthusiasts, and those fascinated by the real-life intrigue of global power struggles.
