"The thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union in the Caribbean are now a matter of history. But very few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it has been preserved in this book by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In a clear and simple record, he describes the personalities involved in the crisis, calling particular attention to the actions and attitudes of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. He describes the president's advisers in their working sessions and the daily, even hourly, exchanges between Russian representatives and American. Moreover, he explores the frightening responsibility of two great nations holding the fate of the world in their hands and the moral burden they must bear. Frustration, anger, tension, dignity, and wisdom were all at work as the Cuban missile crisis reached its peak. Robert F. Kennedy has conveyed all of that feeling in his remarkable narrative." -- Back cover
