Note:"Although the United States and the Soviet Union never met in combat, the Cold War and its looming threat of a nuclear apocalypse left a profound and permanent mark on North America's built environment. Hanson uses cases studies from Bikini Atoll, the Nevada Test Site, and the NIKE Hercules Missile Battery Site in Alaska, among others, to synthesize the major methodological, theoretical, and substantive contributions to the field of Cold War archaeology and to consider the numerous economic, political, and cultural issues related to the preservation of Cold War heritage sites"--Provided by publisher.
