Cold War Short Stories is a series of short tales from our listeners and social media followers. These are fascinating Cold War stories that may not fill a full episode, but are far too good to leave untold…
Your Cold War memories, or those of a loved one, are part of history. Share them with us!
Whether in text or audio form, you can send it to me at ian “at”coldwarconversations.com.
In this edition, we’ve got a brilliant mix: a memory from the Cuban Missile Crisis, a chance encounter with a Cold War legend, a 13-year-old’s unexpected flight behind the Iron Curtain, some poignant family reflections from the Korean War, and a visitor’s eerie timing as they arrived in Ukraine just as the Chernobyl disaster was unfolding.
