Cuban Missile Crisis at National Archives

My colleague,  Jeff Feinstein, just sent me this link about the Cuban Missile Crisis. I know it's early to be thinking about teaching the Cuban Missile Crisis but the National Archives has a great exhibit about the event. The video above outlines all the material in the exhibit which features secretly recorded White House tapes from October 1962, original documents, artifacts, and photographs. The exhibit is at  the National Archives October 2012 - February 2013 and the JFK Presidential Library Museum April - December 2013
