There's no such thing as reading too much about the Cuban missile crisis, because new info is always being uncovered that shows just how close the world came to annihilation. The author, chair of the Ukrainian Studies Dept. at Harvard, had access to former Soviet archives and gives the best account yet about the run-up to the missile buildup and Khrushchev's reaction once his weapons were discovered. Plokhi's conclusion: after both Kennedy and Khrushchev "made every mistake in the book," they realized that neither wanted a thermonuclear war--and both were losing control over people and events on the ground. Excellent reading.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
