Reviews

""Despite all the many books (and movies) about the singular event we call the Cuban Missile Crisis, no one has told that history as a hemispheric one--until now. Keller's brilliant book eschews a bilateral approach focused on the two superpowers and even a trilateral one that encompasses Cuba. This gripping and rigorously researched book will forever change the way readers understand the missile crisis and the Cold War.""--Ada Ferrer, author of Cuba: An American History ""Keller broadens our perspective on the Cuban Missile Crisis by examining Latin Americans before, during, and after the US discovery of missiles on that communist island. Everyone concerned about international relations should read this book.""--Alan McPherson, author of The Breach: Iran-Contra and the Assault on American Democracy ""This outstanding work completely transforms our understanding of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Keller's gripping narrative moves expertly from tense negotiations behind closed doors in Washington and Havana to explosive street protests in Buenos Aires and Montevideo.""--Michelle Chase, author of Revolution within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962
