The Cuban Missile Crisis: Jupiter’s Role
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper discussing the usefulness of the Jupiter missile in ending the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It was a symbol of US presence in Italy and Turkey, as well as reflecting the cooperation of those governments with the US military at the time. Ultimately, it assumed a leading role in ending the stalemate between the US and the former USSR over what would happen in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Bibliography lists 23 sources.
