Review of Herbert S. Dinerstein, The Making of a Missile Crisis, October 1962 (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1976),

Abstract

The reviewer finds that this book illuminates--in unprecedented detail--the relationship between Moscow's Cuban policy and the ultimate Soviet missile decision, offers important new insights into the timing of the decision, and provides a fascinating speculative discussion of possible Soviet internal factional infighting over alternative strategies once the venture broke down into a confrontation of countervailing resolve.
