Has anyone figured out the connection between”White Squall”, a movie about a true story, ship of schoolboys sinking in Caribbean in 1961; and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962?
(Other than same general part of the world, of course)

In the eye of the storm : Castro, Khrushchev, Kennedy, and the missile crisis / by Carlos Lechuga ; translated by Mary Todd ; edited by Mirta Muñiz.

Perhaps?

I thought I might get this (from Amazon) to see...
Has anyone else here read it?

Back Channel
by William Bertram MacFarland

“This is the first book of a remarkable memoir of a Special
Assistant to President John F. Kennedy. Known familiarly as
Bertie Mac, he reported directly to the President and his
office was in the West Wing of the White House. Prior to
achieving that position, he had been betrayed by his own
government - the United States - and handed over to the
Soviets.

He was tortured in the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow
before being covertly rescued by two high ranking Soviet
Generals (at great risk to themselves) who wanted to convey
information directly to the White House to try to avert a
nuclear confrontation they believed to be imminent. They
believed that he would be a uniquely reliable conduit of
information between the U.S. and the Soviet Union as he
deeply mistrusted both governments and therefore had
absolutely no motivation to “color” any information he might
transmit.

Bertie Mac coined the term “Back Channel” and
served as a direct communication link between the White
House and the Kremlin during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Bertie Mac is a patriot, a soldier, a spy and an assassin.
He served in all four roles during his time under President
Kennedy - who became his friend and confidant. You will see
the Soviet Union, the White House, Camelot, Vietnam and the
conspirators behind the assassination of the President in a
very new light and watch history as it was being made.

Bertie Mac served under and reported to nine U.S.
Presidents. This book is the first in the series. It is
heavily documented with photocopies of documents which,
though now declassified, originally bore the very highest of
security classifications - Top Secret/ Sensitive/ Eyes Only.
The documents are indisputably authentic and reveal the real
facts that the American (and world) public never knew. Back
Channel recounts the first stage of a totally fascinating
journey.”
