Customer Reviews

Informative, new perspective

We've all heard about the Cuban Missile Crisis, or at least we think we have. This book gives us an informative in-depth study of what really went on. It also allows the reader to see the rethinking of policies between the nations involved in the Cold war, the US, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. I recomend you read it!
