Kennedy's presidency, the world came to the brink of nuclear disaster. Starting with the Bay of Pigs in 1961, the two superpowers moved from crisis to crisis: the summit in Vienna, confrontation over the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy's assassination and the final overthrow of Khrushchev. This book provides a dramatic reassessment of the years 1960 to 1963. The author examines the politics of the era but returns to the two leaders - Kennedy and Khrushchev - and the effects of their actions. Drawing on interviews and newly declassified government documents, the author reveals the mistakes, betrayals, missed communications and covert operations that made these the "crisis years".

Declaring Independence : The Origin And Influence Of America's Founding Document

Christian Yves Dupont

Peter S Onuf

University of Virginia Library

This sterling collection of original, never-before-published essays on six fascinating contemporary presidents by some of the leading presidential biographers of our time is must reading for anyone interested in American politics, the history of the American presidency, or the lives of the presidents. Each essay—extending and elaborating on lectures originally delivered as part of the Montgomery Lecture Series at Dartmouth University—explores how a particular president came to power, wielded power, and was changed by power, and how each presidency affected the power of the office itself. The presidencies addressed are those of Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan, and Clinton. Published as our nation begins the process of electing the 43rd president, during a time when some believe the independence of the office itself is at stake, Power and the Presidency is a timely and thought-provoking look at the nature of power in American democracy.
