In 1962, when the United States discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, President Kennedy demanded their removal and announced a naval blockade of the island. The standoff that ensued resulted in the closest approach to nuclear war at any time between the US and the USSR. In 1988 the United States National Archives and Records Administration published "The Cuban Missile Crisis," which described and explained the lead-up, the strategies, the events, and the resolution of the crisis, and also included, in its entirely, the text of President Kennedys October 22, 1962, address to the nation concerning the crisis. This paperback edition contains à prix réduit the complete text of that publication..
