Anti Aircraft Gun In Havana
Cuban anti-aircraft guns stand ready for action on Havana's shoreline as the U.S. and the Soviet Union teeter on the brink of nuclear war over the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba in October, 1962. The missiles are withdrawn after President John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963) gives assurances to Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev (1894 - 1971) that the U.S. will not invade Cuba.
