This unit makes use of documents available for the first time since the end of the Cold War. The lessons shed light on aspects of the Cold War that up to now have been based on a limited documentary record. Lessons in the unit examine testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, an appraisal of textbook accounts of McCarthyism, and the Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg espionage cases. The unit includes readings from the recently declassified Venona Project files and documents from the archives of the former Soviet Union.
