Not one of Hastings' masterpieces- he's better on epic sweeps intercut with small little vignettes. This is a tighter time frame. Still worth a read. Scary in terms of the nutty generals and Cubans and bombastic Russians who caused this for no reason. And nutty Americans who freaked out over Cuban when the missiles didn't make much of a difference.
He's a bit pick nicky about the Kevin Costner character in Thirteen Days.
