Review

A brief, insightful account. (A.G. Noorani The Statesman)

Valuable...A major work. (David Richards Indianapolis Star)

Plenty of titles have analyzed the 13 days in 1962 when nuclear war threatened: this goes beyond most in adding new research to consider the underlying causes and consequences of the crisis. (Midwest Book Review)
