Berlin 1961: Kennedy, Khruschev, and the Most Dangerous Place on Earth by Frederick Kempe |
The confrontation of an inexperienced JFK and the rough and wily Kruschev. At stake the future of Europe, nuclear war and world domination. Drawing on all that has become known since, this book follows the unfolding crisis almost day to day. An extraordinary cast of characters - from Adenauer to a young Kissinger - act out a drama which culminated in the Berlin wall. Gripping reading which makes you feel Kennedy's dilemmas in particular and throws new light on the period.
