The Cuban Missile Crisis by Peter Chrisp
This book examines the international background to this crisis including Castro's revolution, the personalities of Khrushchev and Kennedy, the atmosphere of paranoia and mistrust in Washington and Moscow. Plus a day-to-day detailed account of the crisis itself. Biographical and Quotation panels give insights into the minds and personalities of those who caused and perpetrated the Cold War. It includes an extensive datelist, which gives a detailed chronology of the era.
Peter Chrisp is a highly experienced and entertaining children's author, who has written many history books for young people. After completing an MA at London University he got a job at the Mass-Observation Archive. This inspired him to write his first history books for children and he has been a freelance writer since 1990. He is particularly fascinated by the ancient world, and has enjoyed visiting the archaeological sites of Greece and Rome.
