Krátky popis
A Times History Book of the Year 2022 From the #1 bestselling historian Max Hastings 'the heart-stopping story of the missile crisis' Daily Telegraph The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was the most perilous event in history, when mankind faced a looming nuclear collision between the United States and Soviet Union. During those weeks, the world gazed into the abyss of potential annihilation. Max Hastings's graphic new history tells the story from the viewpoints of national leaders, Russian officers, Cuban peasants, American pilots and British disarmers.Max Hastings deploys his accustomed blend of eye-witness interviews, archive documents and diaries, White House tape recordings, top-down analysis, first to paint word-portraits of the Cold War experiences of Fidel Castro's Cuba, Nikita Khrushchev's Russia and Kennedy's America, then to describe the nail-biting Thirteen Days in which Armageddon beckoned. Hastings began researching this book believing that he was exploring a past event from twentieth century history. He is as shocked as are millions of us around the world, to discover that the rape of Ukraine gives this narrative a hitherto unimaginable twenty-first century immediacy.We may be witnessing the onset of a new Cold War between nuclear-armed superpowers. To contend with today's threat, which Hastings fears will prove enduring, it is critical to understand how, sixty years ago, the world survived its last glimpse into the abyss. Only by fearing the worst, he argues, can our leaders hope to secure the survival of the planet.

Tu žila Britt-Marie
Britt-Marie je vraj pasívne agresívna... Pche, také klamstvo! Keby ľudia neboli neporiadni, nerobili by špinu a škrabance, ONA by nemusela kričať! Ale to je už jedno. Britt práve ukončila svoje 40-ročné manželstvo a odmietla byť ďalej ženou v domácnosti. Koniec! Začne nanovo v Borgu! Ibaže Borg zasiahla finančná kríza tak silno, že tu okrem jednej smradľavej pizzérie nič neostalo. Teda až na... futbal. Tomu ale Britt-Marie vôbec nerozumie. Deti z Borgu však trénera zúfalo potrebujú, a tak vezmú naozaj kohokoľvek... To, že Britt to miesto nechce, ich vlastne vôbec nezaujíma. Lenže keď ju pozve na rande miestny policajt a ešte si nechtiac v soláriu zlomí ruku, zdá sa, že osud má s Britt v Borgu predsa len svoje plány. Preložila Mária Bratová
