Kennedy Exaggerated Missile Crisis claim says ex aide Havana
Former U.S. embassy official Paul D. Bethel contends Kennedy era briefings inflated the 1962 Cuban missile threat and cites a 192 mile range for Soviet missiles after withdrawals. He critiques lack of on site inspection and details a proposed but unrealized Bay of Pigs second front with Venezuelan and Central American forces.
