INSIDE THE COLD WAR with Sir David Frost, tells one of the most important stories of our time -- the extraordinary history of the Cold War between Soviet-sponsored communism and Western-supported democracy. From the fall of the Iron Curtain to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, INSIDE THE COLD WAR reconstructs the chain of events that brought the superpowers to the brink of world-consuming conflict. It also traces the many "surrogate wars" of the 1970s and 1980s, including the liberation of Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Much has been published on the Cold War and the forces behind it, but the true story is known only to a handful of men and women -- those who were in power, those who faced East-West tensions on a daily basis, and those who made the strategic decisions and fought the war as a core element of national policy. All these figures have been interviewed in depth by one man -- Sir David Frost.

INSIDE THE COLD WAR features all these interviews, plus never-before-seen footage of Robert Kennedy, who advised his brother, President Kennedy, during early flash points of the Cold War.

INSIDE THE COLD WAR is a co-production of Pantheon with David Paradine Television and Porchlight Entertainment, in association with the History Channel. The program is being distributed worldwide by Freemantle Associates.

INSIDE THE COLD WAR is also available as a companion CD-ROM, featuring countless declassified memos, cables and photographs.
