In the Line of Fire of the Cold War. Relations between Iceland and the United States 1945-1960. Author Valur Ingimundarson.
Much has always been hidden about the relations between Iceland and the United States in the years after World War II. Here, Valur Ingimundarson looks beneath the surface and sheds new light on the history of these years when the Cold War was largely forgotten and the attitude towards the world powers in East and West divided the nation into factions.
Among the topics discussed are the US plans to station nuclear weapons in Iceland and their plans for how to occupy the country if necessary. The film covers the lead-up to Iceland's accession to NATO, the conclusion of a defense agreement with the United States, and the left-wing government's change of policy on military matters.
