In January of 1992, an amazing meeting took place in Havana, Cuba. World leaders were given the opportunity to see just how close the world had come to a nuclear war. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense, McNamara, who took part in that meeting, said: "It almost happened". The U.S. did not know that among the 42,000 Russian specialists in Cuba at the time of the showdown between Kennedy and Kruschev, the on-the-spot field commanders in Cuba had been empowered to use the nuclear warheads at their own discretion (without calling Moscow). And if Kruschev had not backed down, the war was scheduled to begin within 48 hours.
We are not interested in near misses. But something out of that Havana meeting should interest us immensely. Secretary McNamara, who spent 12 days of that crisis in the Pentagon (day and night), kept saying that when we face such a crisis, we must realize that we are talking about "the death not thousands, or million, but of nations."
