    1960 Contemporary history
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023*

For a person that was 23 years old at the time in the novel this was interesting reading. I recommend it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very well written and exceptional review of the Cuban missile crisis
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023*

Of course now, I do not yet know if the actors in this book are fictional, real players only dressed to impress and actually historical.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Typical Uris
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2014*

Leon Uris' books follow a similar pattern, and this novel of cold war intrigue, set against the background of the Cuban Missile Crisis, is no different in several respects. The main character, a French diplomat named Andre Devereaux, is an intelligence officer at the French embassy in Washington DC. He agrees to help the Americans interrogate a Russian defector who asked for him by name.The story moves from Washington to France and Cuba, pitting Andre against his political adversaries in France and the corrupt and vicious government in Cuba. That part of the book - the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the anti-American political situation in France in the 1950's and 1960's - is a well-written and researched story of historical fiction. Now, for the themes that run through many of Uris' novels... first, most of Uris' main characters are not what we would consider really heroic; in fact, they are pretty much personally unlikeable individuals. They are mostly self-absorbed men who treat their wives terribly, drink far too much, and are not very friendly - except to the several (sometimes literally dozens) of female companions they consort with. After I read a few of these books, I began to realize that Uris used himself as the model for these anti-heroes, merging parts of his own life with the fictional characters he wrote about. The second theme that began to tire me, I've dubbed the "regressive factor".  This story starts out in the timeframe just before the US discovered that the Russians were surreptitiously installing missile sites in Cuba. We follow the storyline with the Russian defector for awhile, then Uris takes us backward in time to Devereaux in the setting of German occupation of France and World War 2, giving us a "mini-novel" in the middle of the original story. While this literary device provides useful background information, much of the "regressive" story is unnecessary and somewhat distracting to me - especially after wading through it in several books.Having said all this, I still give this book 4 stars. Uris is the master of the historical fiction genre; I've not read any other author who researches his books so meticulously that it's difficult to realize these are fictitious characters set in historical events.
