This was supposed to be really well done, even if it was by CNN. It was a 24 part miniseries @ 45 minutes each. I guess it is out of print now and never released on DVD. But it is available to stream all online at the link above :D
That website above is pretty kick ass too btw.

Re: Cold War (1998 TV Miniseries)
The US funded the Marshall Plan to effectuate a more rapid post-War recovery of Europe, while the Soviet Union refused to allow participation by Eastern Bloc members. Elsewhere, in Latin America and Southeast Asia, the USSR assisted and helped foster communist revolutions, opposed by several Western countries and their regional allies; some they attempted to roll back, with mixed results. Moscow supported the pro-communist revolt in Cuba, led by Fidel Castro, and in 1962 sent in nuclear missiles. That was intolerable to the Americans, who forced their removal in the Cuban Missile Crisis, as full-scale nuclear war threatened.
