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

3.0

Dobbs has written what amounts to an almost hour by hour account of the crisis, and brings to light new aspects of the history based on recently available archival materials, interviews and other data previously ignored. The result is a great story told in a compelling narrative - though the format also sometimes prevents drawing out lessons/analysis at any real length.
