Hastings looks at the conflict with fresh eyes, focusing on the people at the heart of the crisis--America President John F. Kennedy, Soviet First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro, and a host of their advisors. Combining in-depth research with Hasting's well-honed insights, The Abyss is a human history that unfolds on a wide, colorful canvas. As the action moves back and forth from Moscow to Washington, DC, to Havana, Hastings seeks to explain, as much as to describe, the attitudes and conduct of the Soviets, Cubans, and Americans, and to recreate the tension and heightened fears of countless innocent bystanders whose lives hung in the balance. Reflecting on the outcome of these events, he reveals how the aftermath of this momentous crisis continues to reverberate today"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Hastings Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.91064 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
