What were the possible outcomes of the Cuban Missle Crisis? If the
Soviets did launch the missles, what were the projected US death
tolls? What were the projected death tolls of a U.S. retaliation?

Top19 --

Are you seeking analyses from the the early 1960s?  Or latter analyses?

The CIA estimates during the timeframe of the crisis assumed a high
level of readiness for Soviet missiles and a much higher degree of
accuracy than later estimates believed to be realistic.

Best regards,

Give me both estimates. I know this is more than I asked for, so I'll
throw in a $10 tip.

Thanks
