Industry reviews
"This is not the fictionalized dialogue of a Joe Klein, or even the reconstructed dialogue of a Bob Woodward--this is the real thing. The result is gripping history, as Kennedy and his advisers--the so-called Executive Committee, or "ExComm" of the National Security Council--react to the news that the Soviet Union, despite repeated public assurances to the contrary, had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. The editing and annotations are understated; the concluding analysis is compelling." Wall Street Journal - Richard J. Tofel (09/23/1997) "Mesmerizing....The book is the best, fullest account of crisis yet and will remain so for decades to come." other - Stephen E. Ambrose "A historical triumph!...This remarkable book is an unprecedented illumination of the anguish of policy-making--and powerful proof of the cool and careful leadership of John F. Kennedy." other - Arthur Schlesigner Jr. "'The Kennedy Tapes' stands as a lasting testament to one man's judgement and character." Mead "The transcript abounds in errors that significantly undermine its reliability for historians, teachers, and general readers....The tape itself must always remain the primary historical document." Atlantic Monthly - Sheldon M. Stern (05/01/2000)
