The History Hour
A Jamaican drug lord, New York鈥檚 drag scene, the mother of the Swedish welfare state, practising flying to Mars and cold war chess in the Soviet Union.
The hunt to find the Jamaican drug lord wanted for extradition to the United States, the six men trapped in a simulated space ship for a year and a half, the mother of the Swedish welfare state, the New York drag scene of the 1990s and a classic cold war chess match which was much more than just a game.
