　　A fresh, controversial, brilliantly written account of one of

the epic dramas of the Cold War-and its lessons for today.

"History at its best." -Zbigniew Brzezinski

"Gripping, well researched, and thought-provoking, with many

lessons for today." -Henry Kissinger

"Captures the drama [with] the 'You are there' storytelling

skills of a journalist and the analytical skills of the political

scientist." - General Brent Scowcroft

In June 1961, Nikita Khrushchev called it "the most dangerous

place on earth." He knew what he was talking about.

Much has been written about the Cuban Missile Crisis a year

later, but the Berlin Crisis of 1961 was more decisive in shaping

the Cold War-and more perilous. For the first time in history,

American and Soviet fighting men and tanks stood arrayed against

each other, only yards apart. One mistake, one overzealous

commander-and the trip wire would be sprung for a war that would go

nuclear in a heartbeat. On one side was a young, untested U.S.

president still reeling from the Bay of Pigs disaster. On the

other, a Soviet premier hemmed in by the Chinese, the East Germans,

and hard-liners in his own government. Neither really understood

the other, both tried cynically to manipulate events. And so, week

by week, the dangers grew.

Based on a wealth of new documents and interviews, filled with

fresh- sometimes startling-insights, written with immediacy and

drama, Berlin 1961 is a masterly look at key events of the

twentieth century, with powerful applications to these early years

of the twenty- first.
