In 1962, the world stood on the brink of nuclear war. The Cuban Missile Crisis began when a U-2 plane photographed Soviet missile sites. JFK's generals demanded an immediate airstrike, fearing the missiles were "push-button" ready.
This Cold War documentary reveals they were wrong, thanks to one man: GRU Colonel Oleg Penkovsky (codename IRONBARK). We reveal the spy tech—one-time pads, a sub-miniature camera, and a lead-lined container—that MI6 and the CIA used to smuggle out the actual engineering manuals for the R-12 (SS-4 'Sandal') missiles. This "ground truth" proved the missiles had a long, complex fueling time, giving Kennedy the "time" to choose a blockade over a catastrophic invasion.
