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

4.0

So far I have learned that in the first few days of the Cuban missile crisis, an Air Force lieutenant colonel of the 509th Bombardment Wing had to buy fuel for the B-47s with his personal credit card at a Mobile station in Boston because arrangements weren't made with Logan airport to host a strategic bombing force.

This book is great.
