Lucifer's Hammer by Niven & Pournelle is about a comet hitting the Earth, but there is some Cold War action & plenty of attitude.
Dr. Strangelove, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is another Cold War classic. Great movie, too.

John Birmingham is writing a sequel to his World War 2 trilogy - in which a international naval task force (slightly advanced from our time) is jumped back into WWII. In the sequel, the timeline is moved forward about a decade from the end of the Second World War and the Soviets start World War III. There are also a few short stories set during the early 1950s in that timeline.
