Description

In October 1962, on the height of the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union came to the edge of nuclear conflict over the location of Soviet missiles in Cuba. On this hour-by-hour chronicle of the ones tense days, veteran Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs finds just how close we came to Armageddon. Here, for the primary time, are gripping accounts of Khrushchev’s plan to destroy the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo; the handling of Soviet nuclear warheads on Cuba; and the ordinary story of a U-2 spy plane that were given lost over Russia on the peak of the crisis.
