Alistair Stuart MacLean (Scottish Gaelic: "Alasdair MacGill-Eain" ; 21 April 1922 – 2 February 1987) was a Scottish novelist who wrote popular thrillers and adventure stories.
 His works include "The Guns of Navarone", "Ice Station Zebra" and "Where Eagles Dare" – all three were made into popular films.

The Cold War (1947–91) was reflected in culture through music, movies, books, television and other media, as well as sports and social beliefs and behavior.
 One major element of the Cold War was the threat of a nuclear war; another was espionage.
 Many works use the Cold War as a backdrop, or directly take part in fictional conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union The period 1953–62 saw Cold War themes first enter the mainstream culture as a public preoccupation.
 For the historical context in America see United States in the 1950s.

The Satan Bug is a first-person narrative thriller novel written by Scottish author Alistair MacLean.
 It was originally published in 1962 under the pseudonym Ian Stuart, and later republished under MacLean's own name.
The aftermath of World War II was the beginning of an era defined by the decline of the old great powers and the rise of two superpowers: the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States of America (USA).
 Allied during World War II, the USA and the USSR became competitors on the world stage and engaged in the Cold War, so called because it never resulted in overt, declared hot war between the two powers but was instead characterized by espionage, political subversion and proxy wars. Western Europe and Japan were rebuilt through the American Marshall Plan whereas Eastern Europe fell under the Soviet sphere of influence and eventually an "Iron Curtain".
 Europe was divided into a US-led Western Bloc and a Soviet-led Eastern Bloc.
 Internationally, alliances with the two blocs gradually shifted, with some nations trying to stay out of the Cold War through the Non-Aligned Movement.
 The Cold War also saw a nuclear arms race between the two superpowers; part of the reason that the Cold War never became a "hot" war was that the Soviet Union and the United States had nuclear deterrents against each other, leading to a mutually assured destruction standoff.
The Dark Crusader is a 1961 thriller novel by Scottish author Alistair MacLean.
 The book was initially written under the pseudonym Ian Stuart and later under his true name.
 It was released in the United States under the title: The Black Shrike.
The post–Cold War era is the period in world history from the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 to the present.
 The term was criticized for its ambiguity: "Even though it has been ten years since the Berlin Wall came down, wrote Paul Wolfowitz in 2000, we still have no better name for the period in which we live than the "post-Cold War era"."
 The name means that this new era “does not yet have a name.”
 it was suggested that "Pax Americana" would more reflect the reality of the era but this term would be "offending for many."
 The same dilemma expressed Condoleezza Rice: “That we do not know how to think about what follows the US-Soviet confrontation is clear from the continued references to the "post-Cold War period.'"
 "We knew better where we had been than where we were going.”
West Berlin was a political enclave which comprised the western part of Berlin during the years of the Cold War.
 There was no specific date on which the sectors of Berlin occupied by the Western Allies became "West Berlin", but 1949 is a widely accepted date.
 West Berlin was formally controlled by the Western Allies and formed a "de facto" part of West Germany, even though it was entirely surrounded by the Soviet-controlled East Berlin and East Germany.
 West Berlin had great symbolic significance during the Cold War, as it was widely considered by westerners as an "island of freedom".
 It was heavily subsidised by West Germany as a "showcase of the West".
 A wealthy city, West Berlin was noted for its distinctly liberal and cosmopolitan character, and as a centre of education, research and culture.
 With about two million inhabitants, West Berlin had the biggest population of any city in Germany during the Cold War era.
