Cold War

In addition to the resources listed below, there are books in the library on the cold war which may contain information about the person you are researching. You may want to start your research by searching for the person using the library catalog (Alexandria). It includes links ot Biography in Context entries on most of the people you can choose for this project. If you don't find anything, check your spelling and/or try an alternate spelling of the name (see list below).

The Vermont Online Library (VOL) will be an excellent resource for this project. These will probably be the most helpful:
