so after world war ii, the soviets took hungary, poland, czechoslovakia. they sought to subvert the established governments of france and italy. in my years, in seven years in the defense department, in august of '61, they tried to take west berlin. we came very, very close to war then. i called the supreme allied commander in europe, larry norstad, to my office, and i said, "look, larry, how's this thing going to evolve?" we talked about it, and finally he said and i said, "what do we do then?" he said, "well, we're going to have to think of using nuclear weapons." it was a very dangerous situation. a year later, khrushchev put nuclear weapons in cuba. to this day, our people don't know how close we came to nuclear war. in june of 1967, the egyptians were determined to erase israel from the face of the earth. they thought they'd have the help of syria and the soviets. the israelis knew it as we did. the israelis knocked the hell out of the egyptians, plus jordan. the soviets began to be concerned about what was going to happen to syria. the hotline had be
