Heck, there's lots of interesting stuff about the cold war that still isn't suitable for public consumption yet, and might not be for some time yet. Stay tuned...LOL! For that matter there's interesting stuff on WWI and II still coming out every year :) For instance, since you're out where you are, one interesting thing I'll mention is that during WWI the Germans tried to sabotage the logging industry and other industries in Seattle by using the IWW, a group which later helped form CPUSA--the lefties out there have deeper roots than even they probably realize. . .On WWII the thing that probably interests me most is secret weapons programs, and also the extent of German and Japanese sabotage attempts that was kept quiet.

True... the involvement of the CP-USA and it's ties to the Kremlin is only lately coming up to the light. Of course now they're replaced by ANSWER and other such fifth-column groups.
But there are other ways that the cold war was a lot hotter than advertised. Real warshots, and stuff like that there.

(As it turns out... taxation *with* representation ain't all that great either.)
