{"product_id":"cold-war-virginia-military","title":"Cold War Virginia (Military)","description":"The Old Dominion’s defense of democracy…\nThe Commonwealth played a central role in United States involvement during the Cold War. With doomsday planning operations underway for World War III, the location of the Pentagon, CIA and other federal agencies established Northern Virginia as an epicenter of decision-making. As Virginia military bases readied for a potential surprise attack by the Soviet Union, local research facilities played a paramount role in the Space Race. In 1960, the Soviet Union’s shoot-down of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, a Virginia native, created a superpower crisis of epic proportions.\nCold War historians Francis Gary Powers Jr. and Christopher Sturdevant tell these and other tales of espionage, heroism and betrayal.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1467156655\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1467156655.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Powers Jr., Francis Gary|Sturdevant, Christopher\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
