How did the Cuban Missile Crisis bring the world to the brink of nuclear war? This book delves into the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, one of the most dangerous confrontations of the Cold War. It explores the events that led to the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, the standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the tense negotiations that ultimately averted war. The narrative discusses the role of key figures such as U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. By analyzing the political and military strategies employed, the book examines the crisis's far-reaching effects on U.S.-Cuban relations, the global arms race, and the broader dynamics of the Cold War.
