The Cuban Missile Crisis by Nathaniel Harris
This book looks at the Cuban Missile Crisis through what the newspapers of that time reported. It uses a range of contemporary articles, including those from American newspapers, to allow the reader to see how the Crisis was perceived at that time. Context setting text puts each article in historical context and explains the causes and significance of what happened with the benefit of hindsight. Evaluation boxes critically evaluate the articles as pieces of historical evidence for understanding the Cuban Missile Crisis and also look at how the same event can be reported in different ways.
'The evaluation of each newspaper report as an historical document here makes these books useful tools for early to mid-teens getting into the swing of appraising the information presented to them in a critical and objective manner' -- Evening Echo 20030201
