Cuban Missile Crisis: 13 Days That Nearly Ended the World - TRDN S01E38

In October 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union brought the world to the edge of nuclear war. For thirteen tense days, President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev played a deadly game of brinkmanship over Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. From the discovery of the missile sites, to the heated debates inside ExComm, to Adlai Stevenson’s dramatic showdown at the United Nations, and finally to Robert F. Kennedy’s secret backchannel meeting with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin—this is the full story of how humanity came within a hair’s breadth of destruction. This documentary explores the high-stakes diplomacy, the military pressure, and the razor-thin decisions that prevented catastrophe. It’s the closest we have ever come to total nuclear war—and the narrowest escape in history. 0:00 The Brink of Annihilation 3:21 Missiles in the Backyard 6:41 The Spark 10:25 Countdown Begins 16:33 Confrontation at Sea 21:15 Shots in the Dark 26:06 The Letter, Deal, and Resolution 29:43 Legacy of Thirteen Days
