Description
Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis This is the story of the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was deeply involved in the negotiations, shares his unique perspective on the events that unfolded. With particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy provides a behind-the-scenes account of the crisis. A new foreword by distinguished historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., sheds new light on the significance of the crisis and the importance of Kennedy's memoir. This is a unique and compelling account of one of the most dangerous moments in human history. The book offers a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Kennedy administration and the events that led to the crisis.
