In this historic meeting, key participants from the U.S., Soviet Union and Cuba gathered around a conference table in Moscow to look back at the events and lessons of the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.  In thus moving imaginatively "back to the brink," the world's closest call to nuclear war, the key living participants revealed shocking facts kept secret for over a quarter century of Cold War confrontation.
The conference transcript appears uncut; explanatory footnotes and background material are presented in the notes, the editors' introduction, and the foreword by Georgy Shakhnazarov, Personal Aide to President Mikhail Gorbachev and President of the Soviet Political Science Association.
