The Soviet Union and the United States
http://sunsite.unc.edu/expo/soviet.exhibit/intro2.html
This American site has a wealth of useful material on the relations between the Superpowers. It is ideal for GCSE students, perhaps a little heavy for KS3. It also contains a host of useful links to other sites which contain a range of perspectives on Cold War issues.
ABC News Cuban Missile Crisis 35 Years On
http://archive.abcnews.com/sections/us/cuba/cuba_index.html
This is an absolute must see site for any students studying the Cuban Crisis. It is an American perspective, but primarily in the sense of telling the story as Americans saw it, rather than trying to justify the US position or criticise the Soviet position. Some of the most interesting items include reports featuring the aerial photographs of the alleged missile sites and extracts from intelligence reports. There is also a fascinating insight into Bobby Kennedy’s (President John F Kennedy’s brother) memories of the events.
