No One Who Lived Through The Threat Of Nuclear
Annihilation Will Ever Be Able To Forget The Cold War!

Throughout World War II the United States and the Soviet Union were allies. But with the fall of Germany, America cemented its hold on Western Europe and the Iron Curtain descended on the East. A third World War seemed inevitable - but could the world survive? World leaders were terrified that a conflict could cause the end of the world!

I use the Internet for purchasing goods I require from anywhere in the world I can get the best deal. (I consider the world my supermarket, or mega mall).

I expect a premier service by using the Internet method as I am dealing in cash with every transaction, but seldom receive the service I expect.

My dealings with a2zcds.com do fit in to my expectations of service profile of e-shopping and exceed these expectations in after sales service and customer care skills. Thanks again!

This must be the true essence of the Internet since its inception! (I have been using the Internet since the 1980s).

How Did The Cold War Begin?

The Soviet Union pushed out the Germans from Eastern Europe during World War II. After the war, the leaders of the Soviet Union refused to withdraw from the territory it acquired during the war and brought the people under their control. America feared that this was part of a communist agenda for world domination! They felt that Soviet actions required a serious response to protect freedom, democracy and capitalism. The United States responded to the Soviet threat. The Cold War had begun!

These Films were Created by Some of the Best
Production Houses of the Time!

This 2-DVD set has some of the great production houses of the era such as Affiliated Film Producers, Ray (Reid H.) Film Industries, Fairbanks Production and the U.S. Army Pictorial Center providing glimpses of the Cold War era.

Inside you will find tons of entertaining footage. Here is a track by track listing of what you will find on this incredible 2-DVD set:

Secure the Blessings This film shows how American schoolchildren were taught the value of democracy, freedom and good citizenship. This film also stands out from most pro-America short films of its era because instead of rabid pro-capitalist and/or anti-communist hysteria, it looks at how Americans could solve shared problems through education, discussion, objective thought and consensus. It explains that education is the key to the future of democracy. Producer: Affiliated Film Producers Sponsor: National Education Association Year: 1951 Length: 00:24:49 Audio: Mono Color: BLACK & WHITE

What You Should Know About Biological Warfare The government was terrified that the Soviet Union would unleash bioweapons. Our next track is an educational film about protection against the threats of germs and toxins. It explains how germs, toxins and plant growth regulators are used in biological warfare, how attacks may occur and what individuals could do if an epidemic occurred. Producer: Ray (Reid H.) Film Industries Sponsor: U.S. Federal Civil Defense Administration Year: 1952 Length: 00:07:17 Audio: Mono Color: BLACK & WHITE

Tragedy or Hope This film is structured as a narrative, where John Smith's ancestors educate him about "what's right with America" in hopes of leading him away from "the road to anarchy and self-destruction." There are many bits of archival footage in this film. It begins with a brief discussion of "radical speakers who are subsidized by communists" and moves from these scenes of "mass hysteria" to extended montages which depict all the wonders of American capitalist society. Producer: Fairbanks (Jerry) Productions Sponsor: Harding College Year: 1972 Length: 00:24:42 Audio: Mono Color: COLOR

The Challenge of Ideas John Wayne, Edward R. Murrow and others explain the battle of ideas between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in this U.S. Army Pictorical Center production. A one-of-a-kind film that truly made history! Producer: U.S. Army Pictorial Center Sponsor: N/A Year: 1961 Length: 00:30:25 Audio: Mono Color: BLACK & WHITE

Brink of Disaster In this clip you will see how 1960s activism "threatens" America! This film features short clips of Jerry Rubin, H. Rap Brown, and 60s-era riots to set the scene for a long debate between a history professor, a Vietnam veteran medical student and a Founding Father. It takes place in a university library. Producer: Fairbanks (Jerry) Productions Sponsor: Harding College Year: 1972 Length: 00:28:40 Audio: Mono Color: COLOR
