Serhii Plokhy, author of The Russo-Ukrainian War, professor of Ukrainian history, and director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University, is a leading authority on the history of the Cold War. He lives in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must relearn the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban missile crisis.
A harrowing account of the Cuban missile crisis and how the US and USSR came to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.
