1980 began with three new leaders entering the world stage: a new pope, a new British Prime Minister, and a new American President. All would make a decisive impact upon the Cold War.President Reagan, a former democrat, was now an old man. But he had a revolution in mind: the Reagan Revolution. For the Soviets, he was the archetypal Cold Warrior. He promised to confront them at all times, and everywhere. In 1983, the world came very close to atomic war. This is that story.* * *

Cold War #12. The 1970s: Vietnam, Cambodia, Pol Pot, and Life in the States
From 1975 to 1979, America felt like it was failing. It had lost the Vietnam War. The economy was falling apart. By 1979, people wondered if the nation had experienced four failed presidents in a row.
Worse, in Cambodia, there were the Killing Fields, in which the murderous Pol Pot and his forces killed an entire one-fourth of that nation's population.
Had this bloodbath occurred because America was no longer containing communism? Was the Soviet Union ascendant?
The Russians had the

From the presentation:
1960: For four years, the Americans had endured the Russian General Secretary’s threats to blow them up.
So they elected an aggressive president would “bear any burden,” “meet any hardship”—and “oppose any foe.”

World War II #17. Denazification, the Berlin Blockade & the Berlin Airlift
After the war, the Allies realized they couldn't just pack up and go home. Tens of millions of Nazis still roamed free. What were the Americans, British, French, and Soviets going to do about millions of free potential Nazis? Denazification was the hard work of remaking German culture. The West did it by promoting democracy. Stalin, however, set up “special camps” and killed at least 43,000 East Germans.

In 1985, in the midst of a newly heightened Cold War, a new world leader emerged:
Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.
"We can't go on living like this," Gorbachev said. He meant: his nation was past a point of no return. They were fighting a no-win war in Afghanistan. The confrontational American president was bankrupting them with his gargantuan military buildup. And the Soviets feared that the Americans just might create "Star Wars," a missile defense shield that would make their
