"As a principle figure in resolving the crisis Robert Kennedy brings to it extraordinary authority, with his own insights, perspectives and very important revelations of the decision-making process at the highest level, on the brink of nuclear holocaust." -- David Schoenbrun - New York Times Book Review
"This is valuable not only as a record of the operations of the Administration during the great facedown, but as an instance of responsible brinkmanship." -- Kirkus Reviews
