Why is it that in my history textbooks the cold war gets about ten pages out of nine hundred some pages. Why is it that none of my teachers will ever tell us anything about the cold war. Why if it weren't for the internet thanks to my school i would have never heard of any cold war or Soviet Union. Does any of this seem unusual or do i need to cut back on sugar.

In another decade or so they can say what they want to about the cold war.

They don't talk about it for a number of reasons...
The Soviet Union and it's allies embarassed the Americans on countless occasions...
The American government could also not want details of it's dirty past in the Cold War revealed in fear of investigation.
