Story4.5 out of 5 stars 109
In 1961, the new president John F. Kennedy, inherited an ill-conceived, poorly executed invasion of Cuba that failed miserably and set in motion the events that put the U.S. and the Soviet Union on a collision course that nearly started a war that would have enveloped much of the world. Extensively researched and vividly imagined, The Shadow of War brings to life the many threads that lead to the building crisis between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1962.

The Experience
Reviewed: 12-29-24
Loved the thoroughness and could tell it was researched very well, and gave many insights into the lives of JFK, RFK, and how the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded. The way it was written makes you feel like you’re back in time living through what had to feel like at the time, a frightening experience! Highly recommend!
