Annotation # 1 Cuban Missile Crisis

Robert F. Kennedy, Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis (New York: New American Library, 1969), 107-109.


This piece of document is a conversation between President Kennedy and Ambassador Dobrynin. Discussing his feelings about the missile base being build by the Soviet Union. Mean while reconnaissance planes flying over Cuba had been fired upon and that one of our U-2s had been shot down and the pilot killed. Cuba states that they was had violated Cuba air space. But the promise removal of these missile bases was broken. That why america got involved to remove the missiles themselves. All possible chances of war we try to have avoid.
