Among the various books about the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, Anna Granatova's political investigation ("The Yeltsin Clan", "Operation Gorby") focuses on the most mysterious figure in the political confrontation between the superpowers, the Cuban commander Fidel Castro. Who is he, a hostage or a participant in the risky political game? Why did you agree to N. Khrushchev’s adventure and the unprecedented operation “Anadyr”? How did he show himself during the dramatic days of the crisis, when the American military, having prepared several plans for the invasion and liquidation of the F. Castro regime, was only waiting for the “go-ahead” of President J. Kennedy? The author proves a paradoxical idea: Fidel Castro's main opponent, John Kennedy, gave his life in exchange for saving Liberty Island!
