Tod Robberson Unveils the Mystery and Coverup Behind Globemaster 49-244

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Tod Robberson and I talk about his just published book, "Globemaster Down: Soviet Espionage and the Doomed American Attempt to Sneak Nukes into Europe." Shrouded in mystery, the U.S. government continues to keep classified many of the documents that might shed light on the cargo and whether sabotage could have been responsible for the crash. An unanswered question is why weren't the survivors viewed from the air not rescued? Tod also describes the mood of U.S. leaders and their fear that the Soviets were positioning to overtake Europe and that having an atomic weapon in the U.K. was a needed deterrent.
