About this event
Please join Chevy Chase At Home for our upcoming Guest Speaker Series, A DIFFERENT RUSSIA: Khrushchev and Kennedy on a Collision Course with Marvin Kalb
In the darkest days of the Cold War, in the early 1960's, Marvin Kalb, a young and dynamic American reporter, found himself in Moscow covering a slippery confrontation between Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy. A succession of near collisions brought the world to the brink of a nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis. Khrushchev thought he had Kennedy's number; that proved to be a dangerous miscalculation. Until Kennedy was assassinated, and Khrushchev kicked out of power, both super-powers warily sought to avoid direct conflict, trying to reach an accommodation of interests, if possible. Under Putin, the U.S. faces a totally different Russia, one that's angrily turned its back on the West. Kalb has written an unusual memoir, deeply personal and yet highly professional, exploring a profoundly important question: can Russia and America coexist peacefully, or are they doomed to slide into mortal confrontation.
