serhii plokhy book nuclear folly

Kuvaus

Nuclear Folly is an enthralling and authoritative account of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a pivotal moment in modern history. Award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy delves into the deception and mutual suspicion that brought the US and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war in October 1962. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including recently declassified KGB files, Plokhy masterfully illustrates the tense decision-making and brinkmanship of key figures like John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev. This definitive new history captures the drama of those weeks and reveals how nuclear disaster was narrowly avoided, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the Cold War.
