Review Roundup
Robert F. Kennedy's Thirteen Days provides a gripping insider's perspective on the Cuban Missile Crisis, praised for its vivid recounting and emotional candor. However, some critics note a lack of broader geopolitical analysis and perceive a bias towards the Kennedy administration. Despite this, the memoir is valued for its historical significance and personal insight.
Who Should Read Thirteen Days?
Readers with an interest in Cold War history, political decision-making, and crisis management will greatly enjoy Thirteen Days by Robert F. Kennedy. It's a perfect match for those who appreciated the detailed political analysis in Graham Allison’s Essence of Decision and the personal insights found in Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s Robert Kennedy and His Times.
