What Did You Do in the Cold War, Daddy?

The Cold War was a turbulent time to grow up in. Family ties were tested, friendships torn apart and new beliefs forged out of the ruins of old loyalties.

In this book, through 12 evocative stories of childhood and early adulthood in Australia during the Cold War years, writers from vastly different backgrounds explore how global political events affected the intimate space of home, family life and friendships.
