Title: Very detailed, but repetitive.
Product review: Pros: very detailed account of the crisis and gives a good brief overview of the cold war (before and after). Well documented sources and factual data including military units, policies, weapons, maps & charts.Cons: disorganized timeline and repetitive information throughout the book made it boring to read.In my opinion, the book would have been much better served if the chapters had been laid out in a daily timeline. The authors wrote chapters that describe in detail certain aspects if the crisis. The problem is that each chapter seems to tell the story of the crisis from the beginning. The further you get through the book, it's as if your rereading it for the third of fourth time. I went from eagerly wanting to read it to dreading to start the next chapters.
