Description
 
Red Tide West: The great "what if" of the Cold War—a Warsaw Pact invasion of western Europe. New information on a much debated topic.

Other Articles:
  • US Army in the Early Cold War: In the first decade and a half of the Cold War, the US Army faced a range of situations, from a shooting war in Korea, to a low-level intervention in Lebanon, and the possibility of engaging on a nuclear battlefield. The army had to develop new way to fight, coming up with revolutionary weapons and organizational schemes that had varying degrees of effectiveness.
  • Davey Crockett: The US Army deployed a tactical nuclear weapon launcher small enough to be used by a single soldier.
  • Operation Kansas: By the early summer of 1966 there was a Marine base called Chu Lai, south of Da Nang. Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Walt, Marine commander in I Corps, ordered a major reconnaissance operation from there. That would let the Marines hit the enemy on their own ground and thereby seize the initiative. Walt codenamed the project “Operation Kansas.”
  • Operation Barras: A British peacekeeping patrol was taken hostage by a warlord force outside the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. What followed was one of the most smoothly run rescue operations of the post-Cold War era. Here’s our analysis.
  • Chinese Space Program: Throughout history the Chinese have viewed themselves as inhabiting the “Middle Kingdom,” the central nation in the affairs of the world. Today that continued belief impels them to try to gain the full trappings of a modern great power, including atomic weapons, aircraft carriers and a manned space program. Though a latecomer to the “space race,” China has now joined that select club.
  • Naval Airpower in Operation Anaconda: Operation Anaconda was the US/Coalition assault on the Taliban and Al Qaeda stronghold in the Shah-i-Kot valley in March 2002. One of its critical aspects was air support for the troops on the ground. Making that work were the pilots and crews who executed an ad hoc aerial campaign after the operation’s original plan fell apart.
  • Khrushchev at the UN: One of the towering figures of the Cold War was Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. He was involved in many of the momentous East-West confrontations of that era, yet the one incident that gained him the most media notoriety in the US occurred at the UN General Assembly in October 1960 and had a comedic undertone.
