For 13 days in October 1962, the US came closer than it ever had to nuclear war with the Soviet Union. In retaliation for the US placement of missiles near the Soviet border in Europe, the Soviet Union placed missiles on Cuba, a mere 90 miles from US soil. This explores the dramatic developments of those 13 days, from the time the United States first learned of the USSR's nuclear missiles in Cuba to the steps taken to ensure that those missiles were never fired.
