khrushchev acknowledged soviet missiles. he argued they were defensive in nature, but he said he understood the president's feeling about them. he said he would withdraw the missiles if president kennedy would promise not to invade cuba.

khrushchev eventually comes, becomes the supreme leader in the soviet union, and part of his strategies in power was to move away a little bit from the worst of the stalinist violence. he starts a process of releasing the political prisoners. and this will take place at last half of the 1950s. but the gulag in terms of thinking of it as a forced labor camp system, it never collapse. it never goes away in the soviet period. it turned its attention almost exclusively towards the hardened criminals. there are still a number of prisoners are held throughout the soviet period, but accountability small part of what the gulag system does. and, frankly, if you look at the former soviet union today, and you look at some of the different locations there, you will find that using prisoners in forced labor is something that hasn't gone away entirely even today host mac you're watching the tv on c-span2, and we are on the campus of george mason university in fairfax, virginia, talking with some of the professors here at gmu who have also written books. record we talked with history professor steven

he did tell me about this crazy telegram that came through from khrushchev one night.ess he took the nice one first. and then this crazy one came through and jack was really upset about that in deciding they would just add to the first. i also remember him telling me about one, how we talk to him and everything they said. that he really want to put him on the line. not giving anything away. i said how could you keep a straight face. how could you not say you rat, sitting there. and i remember another thing, which a man will be a letter, how one of the worst days of it all, the last day. how a you tune -- how a u2 plane got lost over a last oreú something. all, my god, then the russians might have thought we are seeing. that would've been awful. and then i remember how anderson at the pentagon was mad. i don't know if that was afterwards were before, but all that. in a room just waiting the blockade. it was like an election night weight, but much worse. but, you know, ship was coming in one big freighter had turned back. all these ships cruising forwa forward. and heari

needed spy planes to find the hidden missile bases in cuba, but we didn't need them to find mikita khrushchev. the president could negotiate with mikhail gorbachev and sign treaties and when we caught the soviets cheating we could bring the world's attention to their transgressions. today our world is far more chaotic. we still face grave threats, but they count not from one country or one group or one ideology. the world is not so defined. what america and her allies are facing is a series of threatening forces. ones that overlap and reinforce one another. to defend america, and to secure a peaceful and prosperous world, we need to clearly understand these emerging threats, grasp their perplexity and form latt a strategy before they explode into conflict. it's far too easy for a president to jump from crisis to crisis dealing with one hot spot after another, but to do so is to be shaped by events rather than to shape events. to avoid this paralyzing seduction of action rather than progress, a president must have a broad vision of the entire world coupled with clarity of purpose. had i look a
