WW3:Cuba / The living pop star who ‘died’ in 1969 / WW2 China v China v Japan [sic]
Why World War III didn’t happen – when it looked odds on in October 1962.
And we look at the three-way war in China in 1940.
We investigate the 'evidence' that made the world believe a famous pop star, who is still alive today, “died” in 1969.
This episode was first broadcast on 22 October 2015.
