A Bit of Historical Revisionism

I'm growing to loathe my daughter's 4th grade social studies book, Our Golden State by James Banks, et al. In their glossary, here's their definition of the Cold War.

Cold War - The belief that the United States would be in a war with the Soviet Union.
I don't even know where to start.

Sounds like its time to officially complain to the publisher. They do actually pay some attention.
