This two-volume set tells the dramatic story of the Cold War crisis in Cuba, from the CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion to the world-shaking confrontation of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Volume 1 examines the planning and failure of the 1961 invasion by Cuban exile forces, and how it reshaped US–Cuban relations. Volume 2 charts the 1962 missile crisis, when Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba brought the superpowers to the brink of war.

Richly illustrated with rare photographs and colour artwork, these volumes provide a compelling account of one of the most dangerous episodes of the 20th century.
