This is part three in our series on the Cold War and joined again by Ian Richardson. Today's episode looks around the world during a time the US is heavily focused on Vietnam. We get into the Sino-Soviet split and how that impacted decisions from Asia to Africa. Ian gets into how close the world was to a nuclear war during border disputes between the USSR and China as well as many of the lesser known conflicts in Africa.
