The Cuban Missile Crisis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780778712374)

Separated by only about 100 miles (160 km) of water, the United States felt threatened by Soviet-backed Cuba in the 1960s. It was like having the Soviet Union in their back yard. This book describes events of the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959) and Cold War conflicts such as the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion and the nail-biting suspense of the Cuban missile crisis. Featured stories include: - The Battle of Santa Clara - December 28, 1958 - The Bay of Pigs Invasion - April 17, 1961 - The Cuban Missile Crisis - October 16, 1962
