Description

“A minor classic in its laconic, spare, compelling evocation by a participant of the shifting moods and maneuvers of essentially the most dangerous moment in human history.”―Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the US confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the at the back of-the-scenes story as it’s told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. On this unique account, he describes each and every of the participants throughout the on occasion hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. In a new foreword, the distinguished historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., discusses the book’s enduring importance and the importance of new details about the crisis that has come to light, especially from the Soviet Union.
