Overview
The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the most intense moments of the Cold War-a time when the world came closer than ever to nuclear war. In this book, young readers will explore how leaders from the United States and the Soviet Union made high-stakes decisions that affected the entire planet.Through clear and engaging storytelling, kids will learn how a standoff over missiles in Cuba became a test of leadership, strategy, and communication. They'll also discover why understanding others' perspectives-much like in a game of chess-played a key role in avoiding disaster.Designed for readers ages 7 to 12, this book helps make sense of a complex event in history and shows how thoughtful leadership can change the course of world events.
