Cold War ― Warnings for a Unipolar World

Who won the Cold War? In an astonishingly frank interview, Cuba's Fidel Castro makes some remarkable revelations about the conflict that took the world to the brink of annihilation. Far from being a proxy for Moscow, Fidel Castro explains that Cuba's support for liberation movements in Latin America was a "constant source of disagreement" with the Soviet Union. "If a Soviet-Cuba master plan had actually existed we would have won the Cold War!" he says.
The Cuban leader's reflections on talk of U.S. preemptive nuclear strikes during the 1962 Missile Crisis are frighteningly familiar today.
