Within minutes of these being launched eighty million Americans could be dead --- 13 Days tells the full inside story of the most dangerous diplomatic confrontation in human history when President John F. Kennedy called upon Chairman Nikita Khrushchev to withdraw these missiles. The world stood still --- poised on the brink of destruction. Was there something further that should have been done? Or not done? In a unique historical record Robert F. Kennedy tells how his brother the President master-minded those fateful days when the cost of freedom had never seemed higher.' (Quote taken from the back wrapper). ***A first printing of the Pan Books paperback edition, published simultaneously with the Macmillan hardback edition. Of interest to historians of the Cold War.
