Publisher's Synopsis
In January 1989, many of the principal actors in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis met with scholars for two days in Moscow to examine the events and lessons of the crisis. CSIA Occasional Paper No. 9 is the complete annotated transcript of this conference, which was the first time that principal Soviet and American actors in the crisis were joined by their Cuban counterparts in developing the historical record. The conference transcript appears uncut; explanatory footnotes and background material are presented in the notes, the editors' introduction, and the foreword by Georgy Shakhnazarov, President of the Soviet Political Science Association. Co-published with the Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University.
