Meer over het boek

For two weeks in the fall of 1962, with the leaders of the two superpowers locked in a standoff, the world teetered on the brink of thermonuclear war. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had secretly deployed a nuclear strike force in Cuba, just 90 miles from the United States. When President John F. Kennedy insisted the missiles be removed, Khrushchev refused. Presenting original documents and artifacts from the episode, as well as transcripts from secretly recorded White House tapes, To the Brink is a look back at the Cuban Missile Crisis 50 years after Kennedy and Khrushchev looked into the abyss of a nuclear catastrophe, and then stepped back.
