Description

By the close of World War II, Long Island had transformed from a rural corridor to a suburban behemoth.

The region became a nationally recognized manufacturing and innovation hub for the military and possessed one of the fastest-growing middle-class populations in the country.

But behind the manicured lawns and cookie-cutter cape homes, locals were adapting to new Cold War conflicts and facing anxieties of a potential nuclear fallout.

Secret nuclear missile sites and classified government laboratories were established on the outskirts of Suffolk County, often among unaware residents.

Soviet spy rings traversed across the island, seeking to steal industry secrets and monitor military installations.

Author Christopher Verga and veteran journalist Karl Grossman bring to life the often overlooked history of the Cold War era in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
