Publisher's Summary
Remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis on this edition of Fresh Air. Head of the National Security Archive Tom Blanton helped research information for The Cuban Missile Crisis. In the book, released documents and top-secret files reveal how close the U.S. came to a nuclear entanglement. In 1987, the National Security Archive filed suit against the U.S. government for failing to produce the documents they requested. Since then there has been more compliance with the archive, especially since the Russian government told the U.S. to go ahead and release the Kennedy-Krushchev letters. Sergei Khrushchev is the son of the former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. He remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis. Minimalist composer Steve Reich on his composition "It's Gonna Rain" inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis. (Original Broadcast Dates: October 15, 1992, June 23, 1999, and May 11, 1999)
