The Big Picture. Pentagon Report

Description

This episode of the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series gives viewers the ABCs of a year of crisis in Asia, Berlin, and Cuba. Narrated by Pentagon reporter Peter Hackes, this stirring, 30-minute color video from the National Archives and Records Administration tells how our Armed Forces meet every challenge and how Communism's guerrilla wars are now being combated by counterinsurgency, a major development of the year. Viewers will see President Kennedy pay tribute to all who serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps in his 1963 message to Congress, and hear Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara personally report on the progress in carrying out the President's program for defense of the free world.
