The Cuban Missile Crisis: When Three Men Saved the World
Dan Pritchett will give a riveting presentation based on information from newly declassified archives. In October 1962, the most dangerous confrontation in the history of the world took place.
This talk will look more closely at this crisis, and how a nuclear war was averted only by the calm actions and courageous decisions of three men—the President of the United States, the Premier of the Soviet Union, and a Soviet naval officer.
