Résumé

In October 1962, the world came closer to nuclear war than at any other point in history. For thirteen tense days, leaders in Washington, Moscow, and Havana made choices that could have meant the difference between survival and annihilation. At the center of it all were secret missiles, spy planes, back-channel negotiations, and the terrifying question of whether anyone would fire first. This book takes readers inside those days of fear, pressure, and high-stakes diplomacy, showing how political leaders, military commanders, and ordinary people lived through a crisis that could have changed the world forever.
It explores the sharp clash between the United States and the Soviet Union, the role of Fidel Castro and Cuba, and the delicate balance between showing strength and avoiding destruction. Readers will see how decisions made in moments of panic and hesitation reshaped the Cold War and left lessons that still matter in today's nuclear age. Written in a clear and engaging style for teens, this is not just a story about history-it's about leadership under pressure, the danger of miscalculation, and the power of restraint.
The events of those thirteen days continue to remind us what is at stake whenever nations armed with nuclear weapons face off across the world stage.
