Later, Cuba, where the world seemed to hold its breath for thirteen days. These locations dominate popular memory because they offered drama, confrontation, and moments that could be frozen into images and slogans. Yet many of the most enduring decisions of that era were made far from cameras and capitals, in places that appeared peripheral precisely because they were remote.
