The Cold War started in the same place that World War II ended: Berlin. On the Eastern side, the collectivist, state-centered world of Joseph Stalin's communist ideology, armed to the teeth with conventional forces.

Part 1 of What We Saw: The Cold War, peels back the layers of mystery cloaking the terror state run by the Kremlin, and watches America taking its first small steps onto the stage of world leadership.
