Kennedy and the Berlin Wall
Kennedy and the Berlin Wall Description
A major contribution to understanding Cold War history. Highly recommended. (CHOICE )Smyser uses newly-available archival documents from Washington, Moscow and other world capitals to craft a detailed history of a pivotal Cold War episode. (Publishers Weekly )Portraying Kennedy as a work in progress who evolved into a thoughtful statesman with a healthy mistrust of military and diplomatic advisors, Smyser delivers an impressive narrative that will hold the attention of general readers and scholars. (Library Journal )A revealing, surprising, and riveting account of this prolonged crisis under the Kennedy administration. Smyser excels particularly in his portrayals of the key political figures. . . . An excellent addition to our understanding of a critical episode of the cold war. (Booklist )The most comprehensive description of the Berlin Crisis of 1961. Well written and thoughtful, [Smyser's book] describes how Kennedy and Krushchev maneuvered at the edge of an abyss.
