Reviews

Despite the Cuban Missile Crisis being one of the most studied episodes of Cold War confrontation, Colman's book is a welcome addition. It provides an excellent overview and will be useful for those unfamiliar with the crisis or looking for an accessible introduction. It will be particularly expedient for undergraduate students as, in addition to the discerning analysis, the appendices provide a chronology of events, short biographies of the major players, and a selection of 16 key documents, which elucidate aspects of the main arguments. It will also be welcomed by experts in American foreign policy and the international history of the Cold War more broadly, through an engagement with the most recent research and scholarship on the crisis. --Colm Tobin, University College Dublin, History: The Journal of the Historical Association
