Opis

At the mid-point of the high Cold War, when most people in North America and Europe thought catastrophic nuclear onslaught was almost inevitable, an unprecedented event took place in Geneva in July 1955. The heads of state from the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France came together in an attempt at diplomatic dialogue, primarily over the questions of German unification, European security and nuclear disarmament. Although the Summit ended with no tangible results, its ramifications were extensive, and it provided the world with a brief repose from escalating east-west tension.
