A pivotal moment in history was marked by Winston Churchill's 'Iron Curtain' speech delivered in Fulton, Missouri, on March 5th, 1946. This speech signified the onset of a new, perilous era characterized by nuclear weaponry and intercontinental ballistic missiles. The ensuing Cold War, a period of over 40 years marked by tension between the East and West, was a time when the actions of a single rogue leader or a grave mistake could have led to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these dangers, the arms race and the balance of power seemingly prevented such disasters. The period raises questions about the motivations behind the heightened focus on defense spending—whether it was a genuine necessity or a strategy influenced by defense chiefs and arms manufacturers. It was an era defined by espionage, propaganda, mistrust, and strategic deception, with bombproof bunkers prepared for a select few and hidden sanctuaries intended to manage the potential aftermath of a nuclear Armageddon.
