520 8 This is an authoritative reexamination of the Cuban
missile crisis and Britain's role in it. It re-evaluates
existing interpretations in light of new British and U.S.
archives and recent Soviet and U.S. scholarship.|bIn
October 1962, the world went to the brink of Armageddon.
This study provides a new archive-based account of the
Cuban missile crisis, providing the first detailed and
authoritative account from the British perspective. The
book draws upon new British and US archival material and
recent scholarship in the west and the former USSR. The
diplomatic, military and intelligence dimensions of
British policy are scrutinised. New material is presented
and existing interpretations of UK-US relations at this
crucial moment are reassessed. The book contributes a new
aspect to the literature on the Cuban missile crisis, by
exploring where the views of Washington and its closest
ally converged and diverged.
