Seller's Description:
New in Fine jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. NY: Hill & Wang, 1989. First edition with all first points. 8vo. Quarter cloth, 400 pp. Appears unread. On October 16, 1962 American reconnaissance revealed Soviet nuclear missile sites under construction in Cuba, just ninety miles from the Florida coast. Astounded by the Soviet move, the President and a small group of advisors prepared a countermove of their own. James Blight and David Welch put this story into illuminating perspective in a series of interwoven analytical chapters. The result is fresh and vital portrait of how those who bore the ultimate responsibility grappled with the gravest threat of our time. New with fine dust jacket, protected with a mylar cover.
