The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 by Peter Kornbluh
Thirty-six years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, these declassified documents stand as testament to just how dangerously close the world came to nuclear destruction in 1962, and challenge the official history of the event as a model of crisis management. This collection of formerly secret records includes: correspondence between John F. Kennedy, Nikita Kruschev, and Fidel Castro; intelligence reports; minutes; cables; and documents released since the publication of the hardback edition. The editors have provided a document-by-document account of the most important superpower confrontation of the 20th century.
Peter Kornbluh directs the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive. He is the author of Bay of Pigs Declassified: The Secret CIA Report on the Invasion of Cuba and The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability and a co-author (with Laurence Chang) of Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962: A National Security Archive Documents Reader and (with Malcolm Byrne) of The Iran-Contra Scandal: The Declassified History, all published by The New Press. He lives in Washington, D.C. Malcolm Byrne is the director of analysis at the National Security Archive. He coedited the Archive's first book on the Iran-Contra scandal, The Chronology: The Documented Day-by-Day Account of the Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Contras, and is the author of numerous articles on the scandal.
