About this listen

Welcome to the Timeline 10/27/62 prequel series COUNTDOWN TO WAR starting in October 1961 and concluding when the world goes mad during the last weekend in October 1962.

THE WALL is the eighth of thirteen books in this series which will be released at monthly intervals between 27th October 2023 and 27th October 2024.

It is May 1962. A train of events which has been slowly coalescing since October 1961 in the confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin is beginning to play out.

In the USSR, emboldened by apparent Western weakness and irresolution, the Kremlin, shaken by a sudden purge of pro-Moscow elements in Castro’s revolutionary government, sees an unlikely opportunity to take advantage of what it perceives to be the Kennedy Administration’s Achilles heel.

Historians are often astonished by the thought processes – or the lack of the same – of ‘great men’. The capacity of leaders to believe their own rhetoric in the face of all the evidence to the contrary is legendary. What we learn is that bad things do not always happen because bad people will them; sometimes good, stupid, and naïve men just misread the runes…

Spring is turning to summer in Moscow and Washington and the march to war has just taken another, incredibly dangerous step into the darkness.
