1962 Missile Crisis: How a Nuclear Ww3 Was Narrowly Averted

This documentary revisits the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the thirteen days when the world stood at the brink of nuclear war. It traces how the discovery of Soviet missiles in Cuba pushed Washington and Moscow into a tense standoff under the shadow of mutual destruction. Setting the crisis against today's great-power rivalries, it shows how close catastrophe came and how it was averted. Gripping and clear, it makes Cold War brinkmanship vivid and immediate.
