During the most dangerous days of the Cold War, President Kennedy was dealing with a war that has largely escaped history’s attention: the Sino-Indian conflict. Join Bruce Riedel, director of The Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institute and a CIA and National Security Council veteran, as he shares how he used newly declassified letters between Kennedy and Indian leader Jawaharlal Nehru along with the diaries and memoirs of key players and other sources to provide the first full narrative of Kennedy’s covert actions before, during and after the war between India and China.  From strategic diplomacy to an ongoing clandestine operation in which the United States trained and parachuted Tibetan guerillas into Tibet to fight Chinese military forces, Riedel will reveal Kennedy’s work with the CIA to be one of his greatest, and yet most overlooked, successes.
