Beau of the Fifth Column: Let's talk about history, mythology, and context....
Beau discusses the differences between American history and American mythology, including how the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated in World War II, but didn't reveal anything about the atomic bomb project. He also discusses the myth that the United States removed nuclear weapons from Turkey at the same time Russia withdrew weapons from Cuba and provides additional context.
