No other book offers this inside look at the strategies of the
Soviet leadership. John F. Kennedy did not live to write his
memoirs; Fidel Castro will not reveal what he knows; and the
records of the Soviet Union have long been sealed from public view:
Of the most frightening episode of the Cold War--the Cuban Missile
Crisis--we have had an incomplete picture. When did Castro embrace
the Soviet Union? What proposals were put before the Kremlin
through Kennedy's back-channel diplomacy? How close did we come to
nuclear war? These questions have now been answered for the first
time. This important and controversial book draws the missing half
of the story from secret Soviet archives revealed exclusively by
the authors, including the files of Nikita Khrushchev and his
leadership circle. Contained in these remarkable documents are the
details of over forty secret meetings between Robert Kennedy and
his Soviet contact, records of Castro's first solicitation of
Soviet favor, and the plans, suspicions, and strategies of
Khrushchev. This unique research opportunity has allowed the
authors to tell the complete, fascinating, and terrifying story of
the most dangerous days of the last half-century.
