History with teeth. Truth with swagger. No permission slips required.

Forget what your school textbook told you.

The Cold War wasn't just a standoff between suits in smoky boardrooms. It was a global madhouse of paranoia, backroom coups, nuclear near-misses, disco-fuelled diplomacy, moustachioed electricians toppling regimes, and presidents who thought they could stop missiles with space lasers.
​
In After the Freeze: The Cold War in Full Technicolour, historian and narrative insurgent Martin Foskett rips the plastic wrap off the 20th century's most dangerously misunderstood conflict, delivering a storytelling gut punch that blends truth, wit, grit, and gonzo brilliance.

​

​What's Inside?
​

• The moment humanity almost nuked itself into dust over Cuba
  
  
  
• How the CIA became the world's most active travel agency for coups
  
  
  
• Why Solidarity in Poland was more dangerous than ten divisions of tanks
  
  
  
• What happened when Reagan brought Hollywood logic to hydrogen bombs
  
  
  
• The fall of the Berlin Wall — and the bureaucratic blunder that triggered it
  
  
  

Every chapter pulls you into the rooms, the riots, the missile silos, and the late-night backchannels where real decisions were made. This isn't nostalgia. This is a narrative reckoning — where history speaks in full colour, not black-and-white.

Why You Should Read ItBecause history isn't dead — it's echoing louder than ever.
Because if we forget the Cold War's lies, illusions, and near-apocalypses, we're doomed to live through a rerun with worse lighting and better algorithms.

Because it's brilliantly researched, absurdly funny, and more urgent than anything being shouted on cable news right now.
