Nuclear War in 1980s Europe

A global war between the Soviet Union and United States was a hot topic in foreign affairs during the 1980s. Both sides had large stockpiles of deadly nuclear weapons and other technologically advanced armaments. This diagram is of Soviet and NATO forces deployed in Europe in the early 1980s which would have been the center of such a conflict. It is one of many interesting maps and illustrations from the book Nuclear War in the 1980s? By Christopher Chant and Ian Hogg.
