Die hier erstmals veröffentlichten geheimen Gespräche, Beratungen und Notizen Chruschtschows in der ersten Phase der von ihm initiierten Berlin-Krise zeigen einen von persönlichen Vorstellungen und starken Emotionen bestimmten Politiker, der auf unbedingte Konfrontation zum Westen setzt. Entgegen allen Bedenken verlangt er von den Westmächten die Preisgabe West-Berlins in der Erwartung, damit zugleich die NATO zu "ruinieren". Diese politische Kapitulation glaubt er mit der Androhung des Nuklearkrieges durchsetzen zu können. Als die Gegenseite unter Führung der USA nicht nachgibt, zeigt es sich, dass er nicht bereit ist, mit seiner Drohung Ernst zu machen. Da er - zur Enttäuschung Ulbrichts - zugleich jeden Kompromiss ablehnt, der ihm eine bessere Position für künftige Auseinandersetzungen verschafft hätte, bleiben alle Anstrengungen ohne Ergebnis, und Chruschtschow hofft auf eine Entscheidung der Krise in seinem Sinne, wenn ab 1961 ein neuer Mann in den USA das Sagen hat.

Drawing on recently declassified documents and extensive interviews with Soviet and American policy-makers, among them several important figures speaking for public record for the first time, Ned Lebow and Janice Stein cast new light on the effect of nuclear threats in two of the tensest moments of the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the confrontations arising out of the Arab-Israeli war of 1973. They conclude that the strategy of deterrence prolonged rather than ended the conflict between the superpowers.
