This work provides details and analysis of the intelligence
failures and successes of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and suggests
some lessons learned for the collection, analysis, and use of
intelligence in strategic decision making. It tells how the crisis
unfolded using the author's personal recollection, declassified
documents, and many memoirs written by senior CIA officers and
other participants. Lessons learned include the need to avoid
having our political, analytical and intelligence collection
mind-sets prevent us from acquiring and accurately analyzing
information about our adversary's plans and intentions. When our
national security is at stake, we should not hesitate to undertake
risky intelligence collection operations including espionage, to
penetrate our adversary's deceptions. We must also understand that
our adversaries may not believe the gravity of our policy warnings
or allow their own agendas to be influenced by diplomatic pressure.
