Australian actress Leah Vandenburg describes the competing forms of government that existed in the United States and Soviet Union, and traces the conflict throughout the late 20th century as she discusses the quartering of Berlin, the Cuban Missile Crisis and threat of nuclear war, and the armed confrontations that occurred in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.
