Kennedy, inherited an ill-conceived, poorly executed invasion of Cuba that failed miserably and set in motion the events that put the U.S. and the Soviet Union on a collision course that nearly started a war that would have enveloped much of the world. Extensively researched and vividly imagined, this novel brings to life the many threads that lead to the building crisis between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1962. Told from a multitude of perspectives and voices, from the Russian engineer attempting the near impossible task of building the missile launch facilities in Cuba, to the U.S. Navy commanders who ships are sent to "quarantine" Cuba, to the Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev, desperately trying to maintain a challenging balancing act between the conflicting demands of various powerful forces, to the brothers Kennedy (Bobby and JFK) who can't allow Russia to land nuclear missiles in Cuba, or to appear weak in confronting Khrushchev, but keenly understand how close they are dancing to the edge of war. Shaara brings to life all the action and actors, famous and little known, that embodied a war that almost happened, the Cuban Missile Crisis. 650 0 $a Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Crise de Cuba, oct. 1962 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres audio. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Michael, Paul $c (Actor), $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716062722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9597B8C8433B11EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
