One Minute to Midnight : Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War


Description

Here, for the first time, are gripping accounts of Khrushchev's plan to destroy the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo; the handling of Soviet nuclear warheads on Cuba; and the extraordinary story of a U-2 spy plane that got lost over Russia at the peak of the crisis. Written like a thriller, One Minute to Midnight is an exhaustively researched account of what Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. called the most dangerous moment in human history, and the definitive book on the Cuban missile crisis. "

She received an almost overwhelming response from all sorts of men, but most of them were married men whose wives had lost interest in sex.
