Imagine going about your life knowing that, at any given moment, you and
everyone you know could be wiped out without warning at the push of a button.
This was the reality for millions of people during the forty-five year period
after World War II now known as the Cold War. Matthew A. Jordan explains the
history behind the peak of all this panic — the thirteen days of the Cuban
Missile Crisis.
