Max Hastings revisits the perilous Thirteen Days of the Cuban Missile Crisis, drawing on interviews, archive documents and diaries from national leaders, Soviet officers, Cuban peasants, American pilots and British peace protestors. He emphasizes how the misunderstandings and miscommunication between the superpowers could have led to catastrophe in 1962 and argues that today's leaders need ‘the fear which must lie at the heart of wisdom’ which made Kennedy and Krushchev draw back from the brink.
