i live here in cuba you go back to russia but i live here. at a nest of frogger finds it quite difficult to run a private business and be a taxi driver for tourists in cheap billie's days. numerous bans within the country are only part of the story an economic embargo on cuba has been in effect for fifty years already. less than two hundred kilometers separates cuba from the united states that no u.s. made commodities can reach the island. cubans are still crowning the benefits of the revolution despite the embargo and the difficult economic situation. there's developments fear is present in the streets of havana around. the daughter of the former officer of the cuban army william rockit is about to get married william shows old photos to his future son in law as it tells him about his family one of them features an old friend alexander markov a soviet pilot who took part in the events of the cuban missile crisis. the two offices correspondent for years before the internet came to cuba then they switched to skype. they've yirrkala alex alex h

everything else we have in cuba will stay in cuba and you cubans will be trained by our specialists and the cubans will have their authority to use these weapons. >> but privately, the premier was having doubts about letting castro anywhere near the nuclear weapons. >> he understands that his cuban pride and the way the cubans saw of possible nuclear weapon very differently from how the soviets saw it, that it would be very dangerous and irresponsible maybe on his part to leave these weapons in his hands. >> for them, nuclear war was perhaps an inevitable consequence of fighting the good fight. >> by mid november, castro had become increasingly belligerent to washington and moscow. is particularly -- he particularly objected to the low-flying soviet monitoring flights. he made the decision that the cuban army would be ordered to shoot at the american planes. >> he makes this decision and does not consult the soviet allies, just like they did not consult him. the new shop for the leadership -- it is clearly a step towards the escalation of the crisis. what would happen if an american pla

, soviet troops in cuba, and weapons in cuba. >> host: to which the americans department really know about. >> guest: didn't really know about. the point is they said they would remove the missiles, but the soviets lied before. there was a deep skepticism that perhaps this was just a trick because perhaps the crisis was not over, perhaps it was going to get worse. that's one thing i wanted to extend and deepen the crisis. second, this is a remarkable period in kennedy's presidency, a pivot point to turn the presidency around. if you do any poll today on the greatest presidents since world war issue, kennedy ranks head and shoulders number one, and the primary reason is the handling of the cuban missile crisis i argue. i wanted to look at the period where kennedy took a presidency that was not going as well as he hoped, and he was able to turn things around and establish a legacy up to the months of 1963. these things dovetail. what we understand about the cuban missile crisis, that it was a kennedy victory, a proud moment for american history, i argue was not inevitable. back to dece

if we look at the history of the irish in cuba, most of the irish to went to cuba in the 18th and 19th centuries arrived from spain, some of them with the spanish royal armies; other irish influx arrived from the u.s. for the construction of railroads used to transport sugar cane to the sugar plantations. that was at the end of the 19th century. and then at the beginning of the 20th century, we're talking 1902, 1910, before odono that i mentioned before, this man who gave his name to -- he was very proud of this lighthouse. the cubans offer hospitality to general alexander alejandro o'reilly. he rose through the ranks of the spanish army. the spanish sent alexander o'reilly to cuba to form a militia. he was appointed governor of louisiana and head of the army later on. he arrived in august, 1769, and took formal possession of louisiana for spain. think of new orleans and cuba, in particular havana, governors there were also in cuba so there was all this traveling from one city to another because later when i got my ph.d. from tulaine university and i went to the irish channel. it's int

might become a second cuba. kennedy and his advisers, the tapes he studied so carefully in the aftermath and i should mention that of course david is going to be publishing and it's been editing volumes of these and we will come back to that. never expected khrushchev's public rationale for deploying these weapons which was to deter an american invasion. with american forces, not human -- cuban Émigre's so they are is but the worst-case analysis into why all these materials were there. is it fair to say that few never shifted even though some of them were unaware of the covert american operations against castro and intended to overthrow castro? >> guest: let me get the first part of your question too because i think it's interesting. there is an aspect which is come through and watch alexander for sanko and -- brought out is that we have been talking about the frogs and the luminous. they were short-range that'll fill weapons but they still have a nuclear warhead. the soviets had sent some around 98 or so to cu

was to defend cuba. if you go back to the period in time and look at what kennedy was thinking, this was not really what he thought that khrushchev was up to. kennedy was looking at a much more global game. he did not think that khrushchev -- first of all, why would you send the long-range nuclear missiles, it didn't make a lot of sense in the time. they were trying to think through what was he doing this? the idea doesn't come up because he knows full well he isn't planning the invasion. there were other things but full invasion is not really probably what he is going to do. so he doesn't immediately jump to this defense of to the idea. what he does jump to is a much more global view and he looks halfway around the world to where he feels most vulnerable which is west berlin. and he thinks khrushchev has been trying to force the bill since 1958 and of course it dates back to the blockade and stalin tried to push the west out there and so this is a festering cold war flashpoint. kennedy feels very vulner

not simply cuba. khrushchev wanted to find a quick fix to send a message to the united states to stop pushing us around and to be sure that the great symbol of the youth of the revolution cuba would not be taken over. so he is in a box and he sends the missiles and unfortunately he sends them secretly, lies to kennedy, and before you know it, they're at the brink of war. >> over to jim for more on this topic of khrushchev's motives. what inspired him to put missiles in cuba? >> as tim and his co-author have written at great length, it was several reasons. he was gambler as cia speculated. he saw an array of issues and thought sending missiles to cuba could solve all of them and elevate his own standings. it's not one or another reason. it's a whole series. as tim wrote, it's like the mystery is who done it? all of them. it was to deter an american invasion of cuba. it would save the cuba revolution. it was revealed in late 1961. it was a general offensive strategy in the cold war which he had spoken o

kennedy pledges not to invade cuba. deprived of the maid and -- the private ultimatum, unless khrushchev announces within 24 hours that you are withdrawing missiles, the u.s. will act unilaterally to eliminate them. that was a stark ultimatum. third, a secret sweetener. khrushchev had raised the issue of u.s. missiles in turkey which looked equivalent to the missiles he was installing in cuba. kennedy said we are not going to make any deal with you, but i will tell you if the missiles are withdrawn from cuba, the u.s. missiles in turkey will be gone within six months. that was the package. the next morning, khrushchev having received the message and i thought about it -- and thought about it went on the radio announced the missiles would be withdrawn. there is more to the street -- to the story. host: they have this website set up marking the 50th anniversary of the cuban missile crisis. our guest is also the author of a book explaining the cuban missile crisis which came out in 1971. it was updated and revised in 1999.
