- "The Cuban missile crisis was the most dangerous confrontation of the Cold War and the most perilous moment in human history. [In this book, the author] presents [an] account of the secret ExComm meetings, making the inside story of the missile crisis completely understandable to general readers for the first time. [He] provides readers with a running commentary on the issues and options discussed and enables them, as never before, to follow specific themes and the role of individual participants. The narrative highlights key moments of stress, doubt, decision, and resolution₇and even humor and makes the meetings comprehensible both to readers who lived through the crisis and to those too young to remember the Cold War. [He also] demonstrates that JFK, a seasoned Cold Warrior who bore some of the responsibility for precipitating the crisis, consistently steered policy makers away from an apocalyptic nuclear conflict, which he called, with stark eloquence, "the final failure." -Dust jacket."
