| Zusammenfassung: | "A dramatic re-creation and urgent examination of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must return to the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, involving John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. More often than not, the Americans and Soviets misread each other, operated under false information, and came perilously close to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these errors, nuclear war was avoided for one central reason: fear. Serhii Plokhy masterfully illustrates the drama and anxiety of those tense days, and provides a way for us to grapple with the problems posed in our present day"-- |

Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must return to the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, involving John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. More often than not, the Americans and Soviets misread each other, operated under false information, and came perilously close to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these errors, nuclear war was avoided for one central reason: fear.

Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must return to the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, involving John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. More often than not, the Americans and Soviets misread each other, operated under false information, and came perilously close to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these errors, nuclear war was avoided for one central reason: fear. Serhii Plokhy masterfully illustrates the drama and anxiety of those tense days, and provides a way for us to grapple with the problems posed in our present day"-- Geschichte 1962 gnd rswk-swf Rüstungswettlauf (DE-588)4076878-8 gnd rswk-swf Kubakrise (DE-588)4136402-8 gnd rswk-swf Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd rswk-swf Kernwaffe (DE-588)4003434-3 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 Cold War Nuclear crisis control / History / 20th century International relations / History / 20th century United States / Foreign relations / 1961-1963 Cuba / Foreign relations / 1959-1990 Soviet Union / Foreign relations / 1953-1975 HISTORY / United States / General Diplomatic relations International relations Nuclear crisis control Cuba Soviet Union United States 1900-1999 History USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 g Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 s Kernwaffe (DE-588)4003434-3 s Rüstungswettlauf (DE-588)4076878-8 s Kubakrise (DE-588)4136402-8 s Geschichte 1962 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-393-54082-6 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032715948&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032715948&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Register // Gemischte Register |
