- catalog abstract ""In 1962, the tiny island nation of Cuba became the flash point in the confrontation between the two world superpowers." "For the first time, Cuba's view of the most serious crisis of the Cold War is told by one of the leading participants. Rushed to New York during the crisis to take up the post of Cuba's ambassador to the United Nations, Carlos Lechuga provides the Cuban version of what really occurred when the world was on the edge of a nuclear catastrophe." "Cuba and the Missile Crisis features: secret letters exchanged between Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro; the role of the United Nations and the meeting of U Thant with Fidel Castro; and testimony of Fidel Castro, the only surviving protagonist." "No longer silenced by its ties to the Soviet Union, Cuba now voices its sense of betrayal in the Khrushchev-Kennedy deal." "In a postscript to the Missile Crisis story, Lechuga describes a secret approach from Washington for a dialogue with Havana immediately prior to the assassination of President Kennedy."--Jacket.".
