The Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union did not go "hot" due to the specter of mutually assured destruction through the use of nuclear weapons. The Cold War was in fact fought, in the shadows and through proxies across the world.
MAD stood for Mutual (or Mutually) Assured Destruction. It refers to nuclear weapons and the basic principle that if, (for example), the United States were to attack the Soviet Union using nuclear weapons then the Soviet Union would respond in the same way. In other words, in trying to destroy the opponent, the aggressor would have guarenteed their own destruction also.
