Book Reviews of Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis
Book Review: Thirteen Days: Cuban Missile Crisis, by Robert Kennedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Read the book several years ago and was convinced that the Russian ships turned around because they
were carrying the nuclear warheads that the Cuban Missiles were lacking. US had would have fired on them
had they not turned around! I am rereading the book to again familiarize myself with the US-Cuban episode.
Success in foreign policy is not a given. This book tells us a lot in 174 pages.
Summary of Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis
The unique, gripping account of the perilous showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In a clear and simple record, he describes the personalities involved in the crisis, with particular attention to the actions and attitudes of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. He describes the daily, even hourly, exchanges between Russian representatives and American. In firsthand immediacy we see the frightening responsibility of two great nations holding the fate of the world in their hands.Cuba Books
