Summary of Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis

The true history behind the major motion picture Thirteen Days starring Kevin Costner.

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 this unique account, he describes the hour-by-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. Illustrated
