]]>”According to the cover notes of an audio version of The Guns of August, President John F. Kennedy was so impressed by the book, he gave copies to his cabinet and principal military advisers, and commanded them to read it. In One Minute to Midnight on the Cuban Missile Crisis, Michael Dobbs notes the deep impression Guns had on Kennedy. He often quoted from it and wanted ”every officer in the Army” to read it as well. Subsequently, ”[t]he secretary of the Army sent copies to every U.S. military base in the world. Kennedy drew from The Guns of August to help in dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis, including the profound and unpredictable implications a rapid escalation of the situation could have”.
Tyvärr har jag ännu ej läst boken. Men nu har jag ännu en anledning till att göra det.
