Thirteen Days
A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis
Written by Robert F. Kennedy
Join the Connecticut Town Clerks for an enriching Pre-Conference Event to explore the
leadership principles contained in “Thirteen Days”, and how they continue to be relevant today.
“The events that took place decided the future of the United States of America…This event was and remains one of the most important
events in the history of not only the United States and Russia but it is a key factor in the future of the entire world. The book was an
excellent display of the real life characters and events that took place in October of 1962.” (www.123helpme.com)
"A minor classic in its laconic, spare, compelling evocation by a participant of the shifting moods and
maneuvers of the most dangerous moment in human history."―Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
“As a principle figure in resolving the crisis Robert Kennedy brings to it extraordinary authority, with his own insights,
perspectives and very important revelations of the decision-making process at the
highest level, on the brink of nuclear holocaust.” — David Schoenbrun, New York
