Fearsome Legacies unites innovative work on the interpretation and management of Cold War heritage from fields including archaeology, history, art and architecture, and cultural studies. Contributors understand material culture in its broadest sense, examining objects in outer space, domestic space, landscapes, and artistic spaces.

With over 150 color photos and illustrations, including a photographic essay, readers can feel the profound visual impact of this material culture. |
