Recenzii

The Soviets' Greatest Gambit offers a provocative and controversial reinterpretation of one of the seminal events of the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Alan Levine provides an unsentimental look at President John F. Kennedy's diplomatic and military response to Moscow's provocation, depicting it as far more inept and bungling than most traditional accounts. At the heart of this study is a novel and chilling interpretation of the Kremlin's sinister reasons for the missile deployment in Cuba.
