    • In 1970, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard during a tense standoff, Lithuanian sailor Simas Kudirka made a desperate leap for freedom from his Soviet vessel to a US Coast Guard cutter, but the Americans sent him back - inciting one of the Cold War’s most complex and suspenseful political blunders.
