More than 5 decades ago, the world was brought to the brink of destruction when Russian president Nikita Khrushchev sent 4 submarines toward Cuba. Officers aboard all 4 subs came within a breath of firing nuclear torpedoes and starting World War III. W. Craig Reed was the first author to bring the entire chilling story to light in his book Red November, wherein he revealed how John F. Kennedy trumped Khrushchev by leveraging a new technology invented by the U.S. Navy and deployed worldwide by Reed’s father. In Cold War III, Reed exposes Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plan to dominate world resources, especially in the Arctic, and why the invasion of the Ukraine is only the beginning. Reed also reveals details about another scientific breakthrough created by the U.S. Navy that could defeat Putin and mitigate climate change. Unless world leaders act now, Putin’s plan could plunge the free world into a nightmare scenario of poverty and despair not seen since the Great Depression.
