Includes a new Foreword by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 this unique account, he describes each of the participants during the sometimes hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. In a new foreword, the distinguished historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., discusses the book's enduring importance and the significance of new information about the crisis that has come to light, especially from the Soviet Union.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is valuable not only as a record of the operations of the Administration during the great facedown, but as an instance of responsible brinkmanship.<br><br>As a principle figure in resolving the crisis Robert Kennedy brings to it extraordinary authority, with his own insights, perspectives and very important revelations of the decision-making process at the highest level, on the brink of nuclear holocaust.--David Schoenbrun<br>
