Opis

The Cuban missile crisis was the most dangerous confrontation of the Cold War and the most perilous moment in human history. Sheldon M. Stern, long-time historian at the John F. Kennedy Library, here presents a comprehensive narrative account of the secret ExComm meetings, making the insider story of the missile crisis completely understandable to general readers for the first time. The author's narrative version of these discussions is entirely new; it provides reader with a running commentary on the issues and options discussed and enables them to follow, as never before, specific themes and the role of individual participants. The narrative highlights key moments of stress, doubt, decision and resolution - and even humour -and makes the meetings comprehensible both to readers who lived through the crisis and to those too young to remember the Cold War. Stern demonstrates that JFK, a seasoned Cold Warrior who bore some of the responsibility for precipitating the crisis, consistently steered policy makers away from an apocalyptic nuclear conflict, which he called, with stark eloquence, "the final failure".
