In November 1983, the Cold War reached one of its most dangerous and least remembered turning points. Able Archer 83 was not a battle, not an invasion, and not a declared crisis. It was a NATO command-post exercise, a controlled rehearsal designed to test communications, procedures, and decision-making in the event of war.

Yet many of the most enduring decisions of that era were made far from cameras and capitals, in places that appeared peripheral precisely because they were remote.
