I honesty didn’t know any of the people from the Cold War. I didn’t expect people from the CIA to be part of this war. That was pretty cool. Also, this was fun to read. I didn’t know anything about the U.S.S.R.’s hydrogen bomb program either. I read more about it and learned much more. http://atomicheritage.org/history/soviet-hydrogen-bomb-program This website was a good source to learn more about U.S.S.R.’s hydrogen bomb.
