Just over fifty years ago, Soviet and American troops met on the banks of the river Elbe and rejoiced at the defeat of Nazi Germany. The mood was one of camaraderie between Allies, and their optimism was shared by the liberated populations of Europe.

Brave New World tracks the building tension between these two superpowers, from the post-war world of the late 1940s through the early 1960s, as the hope for peace swiftly disintegrates into a "cold" war of competing ideologies between East and West.

The people remember: meeting on the Elbe, refugees in Europe, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill at Fulton, Nikita Khrushchev, propaganda wars, NATO, Berlin blockade, Korea, Hungarian uprising, Berlin Wall.
