In October 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear conflict over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. In this hour-by-hour chronicle of those tense days, veteran Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs reveals just how close we came to Armageddon.
Here, for the first time, are gripping accounts of Khrushchev's plan to destroy the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo; the handling of Soviet nuclear warheads on Cuba; and the extraordinary story of a U-2 spy plane that got lost over Russia at the peak of the crisis.
Written like a thriller, One Minute to Midnight is an exhaustively researched account of what Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. called “the most dangerous moment in human history,” and the definitive book on the Cuban missile crisis.
The plot of the story is simple enough: two men, one in Washington, one in Moscow, struggle with the specter of nuclear destruction they themselves have unleashed. But it is the subplots that give the story its drama. If seemingly minor characters sometimes threaten to take over the narrative, it is worth remembering that any one of these subplots could have become the main plot at any time. The issue was not whether Kennedy and Khrushchev wanted to control events; it was whether they could. (查看原文)

断断续续花了两个多月才读完 全书的史实考证汇编整理应该是极度花心思的 但没有预想中那种读起来欲罢不能的感觉 也许是出生年代造成的代入感缺失 三方的素材比例和三方政府客观的史料披露程度相当 作者是苏联解体前后华盛顿邮报的前方驻地通讯记者 可以想见本书的质量应该是同类题材中较为上乘的 从观点上讲 印象最深的反倒是「 Afterword 」这章 最后吐一下 Kindle 上买的正版依然所有内嵌地图放大之... 断断续续花了两个多月才读完 全书的史实考证汇编整理应该是极度花心思的 但没有预想中那种读起来欲罢不能的感觉 也许是出生年代造成的代入感缺失 三方的素材比例和三方政府客观的史料披露程度相当 作者是苏联解体前后华盛顿邮报的前方驻地通讯记者 可以想见本书的质量应该是同类题材中较为上乘的 从观点上讲 印象最深的反倒是「 Afterword 」这章 最后吐一下 Kindle 上买的正版依然所有内嵌地图放大之后渣到无法看清文字标示 这对理解局势会有相当程度影响 另外 JFK 爱搞女人这种八卦放在这本书里显得有点 TMI (展开)

前半部是铺垫，后半部是对最紧张一天从头到尾的记述。肯尼迪与赫鲁晓夫都希望阻止核战爆发，真正想打的是卡斯特罗和美国军方中的鹰派。整个过程中美苏双方都有失误，最后一天内接连两起小规模冲突事件险些引发核战。
