"Historians assumed, for many years, that it was this – having his Potemkin façade ripped away – that drove Khrushchev into a desperate attempt to recover by sending intermediate – and medium-range missiles, which he did have in abundance, to Cuba in 1962…it is clear now thought that this was no Khrushchev’s primary reason for acting as he did, which suggests how easily historians can jump to premature conclusions." (Gadsis 2006, p. 75)

"The Cuban missile crisis also shows how badly great powers can miscalculate when tensions are high and the stakes are great. The consequences, as they did in this instance, can surprise everyone. " (Gadsis 2006, p. 75)

•"Khrushchev intended to…spread revolution throughout Latin America….surprised…excited…exhilarated when Marxist-Leninist insurgency seized power in Cuba on its own." (Gadsis 2006, p. 75)
