[BBC Radio 4] - The Cuban Missile Crisis As Seen From Moscow And Havana



What decisions were taken in the Kremlin and in Havana
during the 1962 crisis? Allan Little pieces together the story
and comes up with stuff I'm glad now I didn't know then.


BBC Description:

The US version of its role in the crisis is well documented
but until now the Soviet and Cuban sides of the story have
remained untold.

Using newly declassified documents from the KGB archive
and interviews with key Kremlin insiders, the BBC's former
Moscow Correspondent Allan Little analyses what Khrushchev
was doing placing missiles in Cuba and how he handled the
escalating crisis.
