If anything defined the 20th century as the age of anxiety, it's the cold war with its ultimate no-win nuclear endgame. While conflicts in Korea and Vietnam dragged on, providing the traditional images of modern warfare, some of the conflict's most dangerous battles were invisible--tactical, intellectual, and fought primarily in the minds and war rooms of U.S. and Soviet leaders: Kennedy, Krushchev, Castro, Kissinger, Gorbachev, and Reagan. This 12-volume, 24-episode series, narrated by Kenneth Branagh, is a comprehensive history that examines the key events of the arc of the Soviet Union, from its birth to its fall, and provides a thorough analysis of what was going on behind closed doors. Informed by the stories of 500 eyewitnesses--from citizens and soldiers to historians and statesmen--and strengthened by painstaking reconstruction of archival historical film footage, CNN's Cold War is a heroic undertaking and a sweeping chronicle of the world's most fragile decades.

Sleek, black and rarely seen, submarines are the ultimate killing machine. Prowling the decks, their torpedoes can threaten any ship at sea, their missiles, any city on land. Until recently, almost nobody knew the hidden history of their tragedies and triumphs.
For forty years sub crews lived on the front lines of the Cold War. Day in, day out, they practiced launching the missiles that could unleash Armageddon. A single missile-carrying submarine could rain down more destructive power than all the bombs used in World War II. As the United States struggled against the Soviets, it pushed submarine technology to its limits. Breakthroughs gave the West supremacy at sea, but missteps cost hundred their lives. Even today, secrecy and rumor obscure what really took place.
The world of operational submarines and the things that they did, it's like an iceberg. We know the very tip of it, and there's a huge nine-tenths down below that we know nothing about. They just don't like to talk about it.
But recently de-classified film and documents are lifted the vail on tragic and mysterious submarine accidents and on the high risk spy missions that helped win the Cold War. These are the secrets of the Cold War subs.
As the Cold War heats up in the early 1950s, the growth of the Soviet Union submarine fleet alarms American military analysts.
At their height, they must have had 500 submarines in service. At the best, we have about 130 submarine in service, 150, some number like that. And the way that we make up for the lack of numbers is much better technology. We push the technology as far as we can.
American science's first great success is powering subs with nuclear reactors. Now, US subs can stay under longer and ranger farther. Then, in the late '50s, they figure out how to fire ballistic missiles from subs. This gives the US a huge advantage in the Cold War. A missile hidden in the deep ocean on a submarine is virtually unstoppable. But in short order, the Soviets are doing the same.
The Navy responds with smaller, quieter attack subs that can attack the Russian missile boats around the world. The goal, should war break out, to destroy the Soviet subs before their missiles are launched.
American submarines are state-of-the-art, the "weapon of weapons" throughout the Cold War. But mistakes at the cutting edge are deadly.
Well, most people don't realize how truly dangerous the deep sea is. It's waiting there for you to make a mistake. When you make a deep dive, you can feel squeaks and moans, you can see things to start to pop, water starts to come out. You're right on the edge, and if you make the slightest mistake when at the edge, it will kill you.
That was made painfully clear in 1963.
The navy's newest nuclear submarine, the Thresher, is launched at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The 278-foot craft is the first of a new class of attack subs designed operate deeper and more silently than previous under-sea craft.
The Thresher was the best of the best. It was this incredible piece of machinery that we put to sea, the first of a whole new class of submarines that were going to be super quiet and give us an enormous advantage over our Communist foes.
She was the killer shark. The first real killer.
She had the first computerized fire control system in a submarine. She had this big sonar which had incredible range. She could fry antisubmarine missiles, which were a new thing then. She was the most advanced submarine we had devised.
When Thresher was introduced, we realized the significance of that moment, and we could only hope that our subs wouldn't be at too great a disadvantage.
April 9, 1963, Thresher heads to sea. Early the next morning, she begins a deep dive, as deep as she can go.
It was near Coarser Canyon that they decided to make their dive. And they had a ship above, Skylark, an ASR. Now they call them rescue ships, but certainly not for nuclear submarines. But it was able to have a line of communications, so there was a dialogue going on.
Everything goes smoothly until 9:13 a.m. That's when Skylark gets the first hint of a problem down below. Thresher reports, "Experiencing minor difficulties. Have positive up angle. Am attempting to blow. Will keep you informed." Three minutes later, there's a second transmission, garbled and unintelligible. It's followed by a low-frequency rumble, then silence.
On the surface, there's no sign of trouble, but as the minutes pass, fear takes hold. Will the 129 men on-board Thresher ever see sunlight again? Skylark reports Thresher's continuing silence to fleet headquarters. It's the first tragedy to strike the nuclear sub force. It hits the tight-knit community hard.
I immediately made an assumption that it had happened, perhaps, in shallow water; jumped in the car, drove over to the Development Group headquarters, and went in to offer what help I could give. And they just said it was too deep.
It's beginning to sink in; it's still difficult to believe.

Submarine warfare is one of the four divisions of underwater warfare, the others being anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare and mine countermeasures.
Submarine warfare consists primarily of diesel and nuclear submarines using torpedoes, missiles or nuclear weapons, as well as advanced sensing equipment, to attack other submarines, ships, or land targets. Submarines may also be used for reconnaissance and landing of special forces as well as deterrence. In some navies they may be used for task force screening. The effectiveness of submarine warfare partly depends on the anti-submarine warfare carried out in response.
