Re: "Thieteen Days"

That this did not happen is a testament that Khruschev was not willing to risk a nuclear war when the only prize on the line was nukes in Cuba. I think the point of the film was to demonstrate that close advisers and military personnel on both sides were willing to enter such a war, even if the two main players were not. That such presumably intelligent people were willing to do so is scary, in and of itself.

The film raises another question, to wit: if there are such people with real authority willing to risk nuclear war, is there any way for them to enter their countries in such a war without the head of state's permission?
