Nuclear Folly A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
New York: W. W. Norton & Company. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2021. First Edition. Hardcover. 0393540812 . A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ dustjacket in Mylar unclipped. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 444 pages; " Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it which involved John Kennedy and his advisers Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro and their commanders on the ground. In breathtaking detail Plokhy vividly recounts the young JFK being played by the canny Khrushchev; the hotheaded Castro willing to defy the USSR and threatening to align himself with China; the Soviet troops on the ground clearing jungle foliage in the tropical heat and desperately trying to conceal nuclear installations on Cuba which were nonetheless easily spotted by U-2 spy planes; and the hair-raising near misses at sea that nearly caused a Soviet nuclear-armed submarine to fire its weapons." .
