The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the most perilous events in history, when mankind faced a looming nuclear collision between the United States and the Soviet Union.
In Abyss, a graphic new history of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Max Hastings tells the story from the viewpoints of national leaders, Russian officers, Cuban peasants, American pilots and British disarmers, blending eye-witness interviews, archive documents and diaries, White House tape recordings and top-down analysis.
‘The most gripping narrative of the crisis . . . frightening but hopelessly addictive’ The Times
‘A story that grabs from the get-go – the moments in which the world teetered on the brink of total annihilation come alive as they would if this were the very best fiction’ Mail on Sunday
