“and paid attention to the speeches given by a certain Premier Kruschchev, when he endangered me and my fellow Americans.”
Did you read “JFK & The Unspeakable” yet? If yes, I’d like your opinion on what the author says about JFK and Nikita. If not, and you read the book someday, since you lived through it, I’d still be interested in your opinion.

I have a unique viewpoint on that historical time. I was a GI Brat, on the farthestmost Continental Air Defense Interdiction Zone perimeter defense base, Otis AFB, Mass., in the day where liquid-fueled, nuclear-tipped guided air defense missiles sat in silos on immenent alert status, supersonic jet fighters armed with nuclear warheaded aerial intercept missiles sat on alert running at idle, and old four-engine modified Boeing Constellation aircraft flew 18 hour radar picket flights 200 miles offshore, over the North Atlantic, watching for any signs of a Soviet bomber raid. Never mind the Soviets, just one “Broken Arrow”, from one missile, and Cape Cod would have looked like Hiroshima, after the detonation of that bomb. That’s how big those warheads were!
I have not been aware, that such a book was written, sorry.
