Some recent documents on how near Cuba came to getting nuclear weapons has surfaced.
Cuba
would have become the first nuclear power in Latin America 50 years ago, if not
for the dynamics captured in this remarkable verbatim transcript -- published here
for the first time -- of Fidel Castro's excruciating meeting with Soviet deputy
prime minister Anastas Mikoyan, on November 22, 1962. The document comes from
the personal archive of his son, the late Sergo Mikoyan, which was donated to
the National Security Archive and which appears for the first time in English
this month in the new book, The Soviet Cuban Missile Crisis.
