……人类文明至少有好几次距离毁灭就差那么一线，全靠少数几个人把其他人劝退了。局势稍有偏差就会走向截然相反的结局。强烈推荐读一下罗伯特·F·肯尼迪写的《十三天：古巴导弹危机回忆录》（Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis），大部分是第一手视角，有些章节读得人脊背发凉。
…civilization came extremely close to destruction at least a few times, and it came down to a few individuals that talked others down. It could have very easily gone the other way. I highly recommend you read Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Robert F. Kennedy for a largely first hand account, parts of it are chilling.

……不同意，但是——只有你一直紧密关注这事，它才算得上“标准”版本。因为最早的“标准”版（“步步紧逼的共产主义者”）是我当年在鲍比·肯尼迪那本人手一本的书《十三天》里读到的，这套说法被大家接受了好几十年——如果我没记错的话一直延续到1980年代。这篇文章（http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/01/the-real...）锁定了旧的标准叙事走向破产的确切节点……

作者提到了《十三天》，这本直击人心的回忆录记录了古巴导弹危机以及那个走到毁灭边缘的世界。它还有个拍得极好的改编电影。在片中，国防部长麦克纳马拉谈到了潜艇的部署位置……
