Fidel CastroFidel Castro
“By the beginning of 1960, Cuba was for all practical purposes a Communist dictatorship
and, in military perspective, a Soviet satellite.”
![Page 17: Eisenhower & Kennedy The Cold War Reaches The Brink.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e425503460f94b35451/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“When Kennedy took over early in 1961, he found a proposal… for [1,200] armed Cuban exiles… to be landed in an area called the Bay of Pigs to detonate a popular uprising… the operation was a total disaster from the start, primarily because Castro was able to read all about it, in advance, in the US media…
Castro’s troops, well prepared for the incursion, killed 114 of the invaders and took the rest, 1,189, nearly all of whom were
executed or later died in Castro’s prisons.”

“Success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan.”John F. Kennedy

The Berlin WallThe Berlin Wall“That same year, Kennedy played a role in another
major event of the decade and the Cold War—the Soviet construction of the Berlin Wall, which divided the
German city into East and West Berlin. Khrushchev… constructed the Berlin Wall to divide the east and west sides of the city, tearing apart families and preventing
economic exchange. This move demonstrated the Soviet's might and willingness to go toe-to-toe with the
United States.
To Kennedy's credit, he did not back down. He visited Berlin in 1962 and paid tribute to the spirit of Berliners and to their quest for freedom when he declared to the
crowds ‘All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take
pride in the words, Ich bin ein Berliner.’
He also offered this commentary on the Soviet regime: ‘For those who say communism is a better system, let
them come to Berlin.’
His popularity soared.”

Very.Very.How Close Was Nuclear War?
“There is no doubt the world came close to nuclear war, probable closer than at any other time, before or since. On
October 22nd all American missile crews were placed on maximum alert. Some 800 B47s, 550 B52s, and 70 B58s
were prepared with their bomb-bays closed for immediate take off… Over the Atlantic were 90 B52s carrying multi-megaton bombs. Nuclear warheads were made active on 100 Atlas, 50 Titan, and 12 Minuteman missiles, and on American carriers, submarines, and overseas bases. All
commands were in a state of Defcon-2, the highest state of readiness next to war itself.

“Then and for some years afterwards, [The Cuban Missile Crisis] was considered
the finest hour of the Kennedy Presidency.”
