In the eye of the storm : Castro, Khrushchev, Kennedy, and the missile crisis

In 1962, the tiny island nation of Cuba became the flash point in the confrontation between the two world superpowers. For the first time, Cuba's view of the most serious crisis of the Cold War is told by one of the leading participants. Rushed to New York during the crisis to take up the post of Cuba's ambassador at the United Nations, Carlos Lechuga provides a coherent history of what really occurred when the world was on the edge of a nuclear catastrophe, with documents and arguments of the three countries involved.
