New Light on Soviet Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Cuba
Original: Soviet Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Cuba—Cuban Missile Crisis, a Coda
The Council on Foreign Relations is revisiting the Cuban Missile Crisis, arguing the story has a lesser-known coda: the Soviet Union had deployed tactical nuclear weapons to Cuba during the 1962 standoff. Analysts say the details complicate the traditional narrative of how close the world came to nuclear war and what Washington and Moscow actually knew at the time.
Why now: Fresh attention to declassified or newly discussed details about Soviet tactical nuclear weapons in Cuba is renewing debate over the crisis's true risks.
