Step inside the decade when the world held its breath: from JFK’s tense face-off with Khrushchev and a UN showdown that crackled with fury, to a Soviet submarine where three men weighed a terrifying choice. Follow the fallout from missiles 90 miles off Florida, the disputed spark in the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Tet Offensive that shattered American certainty.

From peasants' son to revolutionary leader — Mao Zedong laid the foundation for modern China. This three-part documentary offers an in-depth look at one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. *Part 2 & 3 coming soon!* Part 2: Available from 10 October 2026 Part 3: Available from 17 October 2026 The legacy of the "founding father" of the People's Republic of China remains deeply controversial. Revered in Europe as a revolutionary icon in the late 1960s, Mao led China to the brink of disaster and ultimately clung to power with a regime of terror. Yet today's leaders in Beijing continue to draw on the cult of Mao. China is now a global power, a transformation that would be difficult to imagine without Mao Zedong. When Mao Zedong was born in 1893, nothing hinted at his meteoric rise to power. The son of a farming family, he grew up during a period of political instability and profound social upheaval. The 1911 Revolution, which marked the beginning of the end of imperial rule, awakened his mind to politics. At
