My boss was talking about the start of the cold war today
and the shooting down of the B52 that really kick started the whole thing. Essentially, it boiled down to a journalist exaggerating how many missles the ruskies had and the incoming president believing that. Not quite as crystal clear but sounds interesting. It was on Radio 4, so should be on iplayer. I'll link if I find it.
