Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis Paperback - 1999

by Robert F. Kennedy; Foreword by Arthur Meier Schlesinger

A resissue of the gripping and bestselling account of the perilous showdown between the United States and Soviet Union in 1962. Includes a new Foreword by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.


From the publisher

During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In this unique account, he describes each of the participants during the sometimes hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. In a new foreword, the distinguished historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., discusses the book's enduring importance and the significance of new information about the crisis that has come to light, especially from the Soviet Union.

First line

ON TUESDAY MORNING, October 1962, shortly after 9:00, President Kennedy called and asked me to come to the White House.
