The Week the World Stood Still: Inside the Secret… di Sheldon M. Stern
The now available White House tape transcripts reveal the real discussions during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stern allows the principals to speak while giving a narrative context. Shows how Kennedy was not the hard-charging Cold Warrior during these talks, but the voice of reason against those who wanted to bomb away.
It was interesting, but I found it tedious at times, and found myself skimming through bits.
