Description
George provides a fresh look at the thirteen days America was on the brink of nuclear war. Rather than focusing on the politics and behind-the-scenes negotiations, she looks at the homefront response when millions of Americans panicked. It was painfully clear that the U.S. government was unprepared to protect its civilian population. This episode was an early brush with the issues of homeland security. We were no more prepared on September 11, 2001 than we were in October 1962 to meet such a crisis.
