In 1961, the new president John F. 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, TheShadow of War 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 allthe action and actors, famous and little known, that embodied a war that almost happened, the Cuban Missile Crisis"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 941 $a 9 952 $l LDPB975 $d 20240529172131.0 $m F SHA 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011231.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010802.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20240523010707.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010050.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20240516010356.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240514011224.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012904.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240123010219.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1BE3A06CB9BD11EE8D04BAA53BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
