Only slight wear ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; B&W Illustrations; 9.10 X 6.10 X 2.10 inches; 579 pages; From the front DJ flap: "Much has been written about the Cuban Missle Crisis a year later, but the Berlin Crisis of 1961 was more decisive in shaping the Cold War - and more perilous. For the first time in history, American and Soviet fighting men and tanks stood arrayed against each other, only yards apart. One mistake, one nervous soldier, one overzealous commander - and the tripwire would be sprung for a war that could go nuclear in a heartbeat." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
