There have been several iterations of the "Missile Crisis" story. In the US, we started with accounts that were part history, part myth building, part hagiography - all driven by the Kennedy insiders. Schlesinger, Bobby Kennedy, and others gave us an initial - and limited - look into the crisis through US eyes. As much stories to burnish the legend of JFK as historical accounts, these initial versions still help to shape the view of the crisis for many Americans.Next came the more realistic versions. Less dedicated to the legend of JFK, or even the legend of ExComm, these versions inched us closer to the objective truth but were missing a critical component - the views and actions of the critical actors outside of the US. Only after the fall of the Soviet Union did some of the real detail of the Soviet and Cuban actions and thought processes become more readily available.Dobbs manages to weave the comprehensive story of the US, Soviet Union and Cuban portions of the story. His work is thorough, factual and well written. It is the best version of the comprehensive story of the "13 days" that has been told to date. Strongly recommended for anyone interested in the real story of October 1962.
This book was INTENSEFor the history nerds out there like myself: this one is spectacular. Underlined. The format is engaging and interesting, not boring at all but certainly designed for people interested in the matter. It was nerve-wracking even when we all know how it ended. One thing that will stay with me forever was how close we were of a nuclear war, but most importantly, that I would not have been because of the big, important pieces of the chess game, like Kennedy or Khrushchev or Castro but because of people with little minds and no capacity of realizing how the consequences of their actions could hurt millions of people.
Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this book pulls you in immediately and holds you tight until the end. It's frightening to realize that it's a work of history and not fiction. I was born in '69, so missed this period of history, but knew a little about it. Never did I know how very close we came to nuclear war and how fully deployed our nuclear arsenal was. The personal stories of various airmen and sailors makes it much more personal and real. It's a real telling, top to bottom, of this event and makes you appreciate the perspective of leaders who had seen and experienced the total war of WW2 and didn't want to see it replicated but with nuclear weapons. Makes you wonder how today's leaders, who have no first-hand knowledge of war, would respond. Excellent book - highly, highly recommended.
This and "13 Days In October" should be (but never will be) mandatory reading for every high school student of American History.If you questioned 100 Americans today, not one could tell you what was happening during the Cuban Crisis. It's absolutely amazing that almost no Americans realize how close we came to the "end of civilization".My father sat in a B-58 Hustler with nuclear weapons on a runway. He had orders to drop his bombs on a Soviet city. He fully expected that he would be called upon to accomplish that mission.If you repeated this scenario 100 times, it would end in annihilation of the human race. 99 times it would result in annihilation of the human race.
The new book, "One Minute to Midnight" by Michael Dobbs is a masterfully written account of the Cuban missile Crisis in October 1962. The book is written from the perspective of those who lived through the most dangerous Cold War encounter between the two nuclear super powers, Russia and the United States. It probes the power plays of the introduction of nuclear missiles in Cuba by Nikita Khrushchev and President Kennedy's response that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.Being a veteran who served with the Navy photo reconnaissance squadron VFP-62 during that period, I had particular interest in reading the new material uncovered by Mr. Dobb's investigative reporting. VFP-62 photo Crusaders flew the low-level photo missions over Cuba, gathering the intelligence needed to help President Kennedy forge a plan of action that avoided nuclear catastrophe. The discovery of nuclear capable cruise missiles, by VFP-62 photos, revealed new information on how they were to be used against Guantanamo Naval Base and invading U.S. forces. The use of tactical nuclear weapons was not considered by the Pentagon in the initial planning of the intended invasion of Cuba.The book is spell binding with the fast moving anticipation of a Tom Clancy novel, although in this case, events are real. Mr. Dobbs gets into the minds of the decision makers and probes the many ways the crisis could have ended in a total nuclear annihilation for Cuba, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The accounting of the wayward U2 that strayed over the Soviet Union during the height of the crisis, the crash of a F-106 with a nuclear bomb on board, the shoot down of a U2 over Cuba, the lack of full control over the nuclear weapons, in Cuba, the Soviet Union, and the United States, is a chilling reminder of how close we came to a nuclear disaster. Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, came to believe that only "luck" had prevented nuclear war over Cuba.After 46 years, many today believe that they know all that is necessary about the Cuban missile crisis. Through television documentaries such as, "Man, Moment, Machine", or "DEFCON 2" by the History and Discovery Channels, or the movie "Thirteen Days", the public is led to a superficial coverage of the most dangerous time in our nation's history. Only a book such as this, written by a skilled writer, can provide that sense of conflict between the military and the civilian control over the use of nuclear weapons. The book provides the most chilling account of the indifference of the Generals and Fidel Castro to the eminent deaths and destruction of millions of lives. This is a must read that is relevant today as it was in 1962.
