Selected Websites
> In 1996, Francis Gary Powers, Jr. and John C. Welch founded the Cold War Museum to preserve Cold War history and honor Cold War Veterans. This is an traveling museum exhibit, but it contains a wonderful on-line picture gallery exhibit that will help enhance your knowledge of the Cold War. > CNN Interactive-The Cold War is a comprehensive online site. CNN Interactive editors and producers traveled to Berlin, Budapest, Prague and Warsaw to compile interactive images of Cold War landmarks. A separate reporting team journeyed through America's Cold War heartland -- Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and California -- home to many of the laboratories, test sites, missile silos and mountain fortresses that helped create and define America's role in the Nuclear Age. > This is an excellent website that is filled with case studies, illustrations, primary source documents based on essential questions: Who caused the Cold War?, How did the Cold War work?, and The nuclear game-how close was it? > The Cold War International History Project disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War, in particular new findings from previously inaccessible sources on "the other side" the former Communist world.
