Description
The cold war was a bone-chilling time and I caught a cold war chill I could never shake with the very real fear of nuclear annihilation that chased me through my childhood.
For those of us who grew up during the 1950s and 1960s the fear of a cold war turning hot was the subtext of our lives. It was a time when most Americans assumed the United States and the Soviets stood continually on the brink of nuclear war.
Baby boomers never forgot the lesson that our world could someday end in a flash of light and heat while we were crouched helplessly under our desks, or even tucked safely in our beds.
Like most parents, my mother and father lulled me to sleep with stories from my collection of Little Golden Books. But sweet bedtime stories did little to counter the frightening stories that ran rampant about nuclear attacks creating unceasing fears that ran through my childhood. No boundaries were safe in the cold war culture steeped in nuclear fear; it was a childhood filled with intrusive thoughts and night terrors.
