One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War
by Michael Dobbs (Goodreads Author)

This was a very good read. The best piece of history I've read since "John Adams." Gives big-picture, as well as good detailed explanations of the factors that contributed to the escalation and de-escalation of nuclear hostilities. Could have done without the CIA sabotoge sub-plot, which really added nothing to the story. You could skip those sections without losing anything. Overall a great read, though. Highly recommended beach and before-bed reading!
