What is Reddit's opinion of One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

>Basically us demands offensive missiles to be taken back. Negotiations. Russia says ok. Setup a Russia - US hotline. Doesn't sound very traumatic.

What? Jesus. No. That's all you got from it? The world came dangerously close to nuclear war and it was only thanks to the thinking of some very smart, level-headed men and a bit of luck that we're even here today.

Perfect example -- Google Khrushchev's second letter. (EDIT: Actually, this is a pretty good link on it.) Kennedy ignored it instead of getting antagonized even more. Do you really think Trump could do the same?

Finally, and I'm not meaning this as a slight against you -- but they really don't teach this in school anymore? If not, I strongly recommend you read One Minute to Midnight by Michael Dobbs. Read it and imagine Trump in Kennedy's shoes. And then imagine if we would seriously be here today.

And there's a great book on the Cuban Missile Crisis called "One Minute to Midnight." Recommend 10/10.
