Question

An uneasy peace prevailed between the Russians and the other Allies, but each side was suspicious of the other. The United States wanted desperately to know what the Soviets were thinking. The big fear for the U.S. was that the Soviets would attack West Germany without warning, or in diplomatic language, with "a cold start." The U.S. knew that the Soviets possessed nuclear weapons. Would they use them on the West? This question and others would need to be answered by U.S. intelligence agents.
