The Cold War Begins

Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's ten-part, 18-hour documentary series, The Vietnam War, tells the epic story of one of the most consequential, divisive, and controversial events in American history as it has never before been told on film.

MAD World examines how the world was changed forever by the Cold War. Over eight episodes, remarkable film from the time shows how the build up of nuclear arms and the mistrust between West and East instilled terror across the globe.

They passed intelligence, intercepted communications, stole blueprints and mapped targets. But ultimately they drove the deep-seated paranoia and distrust that would forever change the course of history.
