Max Frankel discusses his book, “High Noon.” The book explores the history of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the minds of the men who provoked and later resolved the infamous confrontation. As a journalist, Frankel explains how he utilized his own personal memories of covering the conflict in addition to evidence he gathered from official records and recent scholarship. The book not only explores the personalities of legendary figures such as, President John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, but also sheds light on the roles played by forgotten heroes like John McCone.
