Interesting insights into the Cuba crisis in 1962, especially the official letters and statements by President Kennedy and Soviet leader Krushchev (Krushchev's messages seemed really passive aggressive sometimes).
However, if you have only little prior knowledge about the topic some parts can feel a bit disconnected. The additional information (not by Kennedy) touched on the topics of the US's part in the wars in Korea and Vietnam, but in a rather unreflected way.
