Vitaly Leonidovich Katayev was an eyewitness to history as he saw the arms race accelerating at an absurd and inexplicable pace, and he understood why. His perspective was from inside the Soviet system, in an office that was devoted to analysis of arms control and defense matters in the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and later in an interdepartmental working group. Vitaly Katayev was a skilled designer and an acute observer. His recollections in this book, along with documents he deposited at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives, offer an extraordinary window into Soviet decisions and calculations. This monograph shows how Soviet leaders were often hobbled by a poor understanding of what was happening in the United States, but it also demonstrates that Americans, too, had a weak grasp of what was happening in Moscow, before and after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power. The misunderstandings on both sides were a symptom of the deepest chasm of the Cold War and A Memoir of the Missile Age provides a valuable key with which to open the Soviet black box.

"A minor classic in its laconic, spare, compelling evocation by a participant of the shifting moods and maneuvers of the most dangerous moment in human history."—Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In this unique account, he describes each of the participants during the sometimes hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. In a new foreword, the distinguished historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., discusses the book's enduring importance and the significance of new information about the crisis that has come to light, especially from the Soviet Union.

“Marshals irrefutable evidence to succinctly demolish the mythic version of the crisis . . . sober analysis.” —The Atlantic This book exposes the misconceptions, half-truths, and outright lies that have shaped the still dominant but largely mythical version of what happened in the White House during those harrowing two weeks of secret Cuban missile crisis deliberations. More than a half-century after the event, it is surely time to demonstrate, once and for all, that Robert F. Kennedy’s Thirteen Days and the personal memoirs of other ExComm members cannot be taken seriously as historically accurate accounts of the ExComm meetings. This book, from the first historian to listen to and evaluate the White House tapes made during the crisis, does exactly that. “Stern is not alone in questioning the precision of the transcripts offered, but he has made the most painstaking attempt to clarify what was really said and done.” —Journal of American History

A Great Flash of Light is a new book by Frank C. Bognar, subtitled "One American's Journey Across the Nuclear Age." But this book is much more than a historical reflection. As also noted on the cover, it's "A Memoir illuminating a Path to World Peace."The book begins on July 16, 1945, the day the United States detonated the first atomic bomb, six months before the author was born. Bognar's description is stark, detailed, and haunting. It definitely sets a tone-until you turn the page.The early chapters are filled with a young boy's awakening view of a dangerous world within the one he cherishes. Heartwarming moments and laugh-out-loud antics are sprinkled throughout- from working on the farm, to book reports, to band practice. But Bognar also notes the "drop and cover" bomb drills, brothers going off to war, and his admiration for a war hero named John Kennedy. He later devotes three chapters to Kennedy's emotional struggle during the Cuban Missile Crisis with details unknown at the time-a reminder of how dangerously close we came to nuclear destruction.A Great Flash of Light is an insightful read on how the nuclear age began, how the race to acquire nuclear weapons evolved, and what we can do to change the notion that they keep us safe. A heavy topic made easier by Bognar's style of alternating between the lessons of historical events, and the heart and humor of a lifetime he treasures.Ultimately, A Great Flash of Light is a uniquely written call to action. We have the power to stop the violence and the mindset that leads to war. Bognar affirms that "with faith in one another and in our common humanity," world peace will be achieved if we choose to make it so.

Thinking About America S Defense written by Glenn A. Kent and has been published by Rand Corporation this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

"Lieutenant General Glenn A. Kent was a uniquely acute analyst and developer of American defense policy in the second half of the twentieth century. His 33-year career in the Air Force was followed by more than 20 years as one of the leading analysts at RAND. This volume is not a memoir in the normal sense but rather a summary of the dozens of national security issues in which Glenn was personally engaged over the course of his career. These issues included creating the single integrated operational plan (SIOP), leading DoD's official assessment of strategic defenses in the 1960s, developing and analyzing strategic nuclear arms control agreements, helping to bring new weapon systems to life, and many others. Each vignette describes the analytical frameworks and, where appropriate, the mathematical formulas and charts that Glenn developed and applied to gain insights into the issue at hand. The author also relates his roles in much of the bureaucratic pulling and hauling that occurred as issues were addressed within the government." -- publisher's website.
