The Cold War was the tense time when 'mysterious' became the default
setting for international affairs. Two great superpowers stood
toe-to-toe, each with the ability to obliterate the world as we know it.
Spies slunk through iron curtains, bodies washed up in rivers and
no-one was really sure what was going on.
Today, that frigid climate has thawed and released archives that have
given us a reasonably accurate historical record of those years. Yet
some
Cold War mysteries still loom large in the public consciousness.
