The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University has assembled this informative website about the Cuban Missile Crisis, a series of events that, if handled differently, could have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. This website does a wonderful job of recreating the drama that ensued over two weeks in the fall of 1962 when President Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev went "eyeball to eyeball" in negotiations concerning the presence of Soviet nuclear weapons on the island of Cuba. Readers may like to begin with the About the Crisis tab for an outline of the events. The Lessons tab, in which scholars from the Belfer Center reflect on the lessons that policymakers have drawn from the crisis, is another great feature of the site. In addition, educators will find reading lists, videos, media depictions, tools for teachers, and other resources under the tab labeled For Educators.
