Description
The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was the most perilous event in history, when mankind faced a looming nuclear collision between the United States and Soviet Union. Max Hastings's graphic new history tells the story from the viewpoints of national leaders, Russian officers, Cuban peasants, American pilots and British disarmers. Hastings's book paints word-portraits of the Cold War experiences of Cuba, Russia and America, and describes the nail-biting Thirteen Days in which Armageddon beckoned. By exploring this past event, Hastings reveals a twenty-first century immediacy, as the world may be witnessing the onset of a new Cold War between nuclear-armed superpowers.
