Titans of the Cold War is an eight-part documentary series that charts the epic geopolitical struggle between The United State of America and the Soviet Union as told through the eyes of the era’s most commanding figures. From World War II to the dissolution of the U.S.S.R, it centers on two titans, leaders whose choices, ideologies, and rivalries shaped the fate of the world.
With unprecedented archival access and input from leading historians, it is a global chessboard of power: nuclear brinkmanship, ideological battles, covert operations, and revolutionary movements. From Truman and Stalin’s postwar standoff to Reagan and Gorbachev’s cautious diplomacy, it reveals how ego, ambition and paranoia collided, and how, time and again, the fate of nations rested in the hands of a selection of powerful and flawed men.
