In this episode:
Cold War tensions continue in the 1970s. The US pulls its troops out of Vietnam while the nuclear arms race is spiraling out of control with the testing of the Neutron bomb. In Angola, a civil war breaks out and weapons flow into the country, as do mercenaries. At last in Vienna in 1979, Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev sign a treaty limiting nuclear weapons systems.
'M.A.D. World' takes a close look at the last time we were threatened by the might of world superpowers: The Cold War. For over forty years the entire world stood on the brink of annihilation, as the horrors of World War II ended and a new kind of global war began when the push of a single button could trigger all-out nuclear war. 'M.A.D. World' examines how the world was changed forever by the Cold War. Over eight episodes, remarkable footage from the time shows how the build-up of nuclear arms and the mistrust between West and East instilled terror across the globe. First-hand accounts bring the stories to life as we talk to pilots drilled to drop the bomb, families are torn apart by the Iron Curtain, and escaped dissidents who lived in fear of torture and execution.
