It's the 21st of October, and here's a little history for you. Look at how micromanaged (and busy) Kennedy's schedule was as he was trying to navigate the Missile Crisis. #CubanMissileCrisis

[Cold War Vault @ColdWarVault]

It's the 60th anniversary month of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Have a look at my 5 part series being released with updated material throughout the days of the crisis. Part 1 and 2 are out now.

I'm back with a new series for you. It's a little long and a little brainy. But I know you can all handle it. Cold War movies will be tackled here in four episodes, looking at the phases of conflict.

Hello friends of the Vault. Here is your Halloween themed episode a mere two weeks late. Well, to be honest, this one started out simple and became a multi-themed exploration into the subject, and I hope it will still give you some Halloween vibes.

Recently uncovered documents reveal how close the 1958 Taiwan Crisis came to going nuclear. Important context to have in the current world.

An interview with Ann Hagedorn on her new book, Sleeper Agent: the Atomic Spy in America who Got Away. It's quite the account of early Cold War espionage by a very unlikely character.

Happy to offer this final episode of the series, "1983." Have a listen! We'll explore the Soviet side of the equation in 1984. And of course, listen anywhere you get your favorite podcasts. https://t.co/EXFaP6sDEW

The third installment of the 1983 series is here. What was Able Archer and why were the Soviets so fearful of it? For those interested in the documents, become a Patreon supporter for the complete document dump! --DJ

@NuclearPodcast Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Deterrence makes me rethink all of my geopolitical views. Sweet....

@SpokespersonCHN @ChinaEUMission These are screen caps from a 2017 promotional CGI video. The mission likely failed.

[Cold War Vault @ColdWarVault]

@ChinaEUMission This is from a typically poorly done CG sim from 2017.

A happy Thanksgiving Week to all of you. Here is "A Day of Thanksgiving" from 1951, which is the most pro-American, and anti-Communist Thanksgiving educational film of all time. New episodes (including the anticipated Able Archer) after the holiday. --DJ

@ColdWarPod That's quite a stretch of reason.

EP42, the second part of the 1983 War Scare is here.

We go into even more incidents and accidents that heightened tensions in advance of the events of Autumn Forge 1983.
