October 1962: The 'Missile' Crisis as Seen from Cuba

In October 1962, Washington pushed the world to the edge of nuclear war. Here, for the first time, the full story of that historic moment is told from the perspective of the Cuban people, whose determination to defend their sovereignty and their socialist revolution blocked U.S. plans for a military assault and saved humanity from the consequences of a nuclear holocaust. This book is part of a series, The Cuban Revolution in World Politics.
