C-SPAN Cities Tour - Ogden: Eric Swedin "When Angels Wept"

Hear the counterfactual of the Cuban Missile Crisis from Eric Swedin author of "When Angels Wept." For 13 days, in 1962, the United States, Cuba and the Soviet Union were at a standoff before President John Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev reached an agreement. It is believed that these 13 days were the closest moment in history of turning into a nuclear war. But what if any agreement hadn't been reached? In "When Angels Wept," Eric Swedin asks what would have happened if Kennedy and Khrushchev didn't come to an agreement and those nuclear missiles were fired.
