  • サマリー

  • Kennedy, Castro. Khrushchev and nuclear missiles. It’s October 1962 and the world is on the brink of nuclear war over Cuba. The funny thing is that no one knows. The world churned on as Nobel prizes were announced and the junior league set their annual luncheon date (watercress sandwiches again) .

    Meanwhile, beneath this surface of calm and normal, the world teetered on a razor’s edge. Throughout the week the nation’s top leaders met in secret to discuss how to handle the biggest crisis of the postwar world. The Soviets were installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. They knew. We knew. But the Ruskies did not know we knew. It was the best kept secret since the bomb was invented. Better even.

    The gap between what was happening and what the world knew was huge. Perhaps a gap this large has never happened since. And today, in a world where information is free to ricochet around the world in an instant, it is hard to believe such a secret could be kept.

    This week on the Raspberry podcast, October 1962, where what you did not know could kill us all.

Kennedy, Castro. Khrushchev and nuclear missiles. It’s October 1962 and the world is on the brink of nuclear war over Cuba. The funny thing is that no one knows. The world churned on as Nobel prizes were announced and the junior league set their annual luncheon date (watercress sandwiches again) .

Meanwhile, beneath this surface of calm and normal, the world teetered on a razor’s edge. Throughout the week the nation’s top leaders met in secret to discuss how to handle the biggest crisis of the postwar world. The Soviets were installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. They knew. We knew. But the Ruskies did not know we knew. It was the best kept secret since the bomb was invented. Better even.

The gap between what was happening and what the world knew was huge. Perhaps a gap this large has never happened since. And today, in a world where information is free to ricochet around the world in an instant, it is hard to believe such a secret could be kept.
