The not so Cold War It would be easy to dismiss
the Cold War simply as proof that Capitalism was

whole story. In order for Communism to be
relegated to the dustbin of history, it first had

the USSR close the gap in the last quarter of the
20th Century to allow Communism to go out with a
whimper and not a bang?
