The man who saved the world.
He wasn’t a politician, a scientist, a philosopher, or a university professor. He wasn’t even an American! But had he not had the courage to do what he did, a nuclear war would have happened in 1962.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

There were so many ways war could have be started in this crisis, it’s a miracle that it didn’t.
Of course Kennedy was mainly responsible for the crisis in the first place. Talk about Teflon, JFK still has it 50 years later.
So much is written about the Kennedy assassination with so many great conspiracies theories we will never know the truth. I am going with the more than one guy myself. But, until the CIA releases the related documents we are stuck with Oswald. Vasilli Arkhipov was the right man in the right place to save the world. Lets hope Kim Jong Un, Hassan Rouhani, Xi Jinping, Mamnoon Hussain, or (my two fingers are tired) has a fellow like Vasi standing near the button at the right time. God save the world.
When you realize how much the democrat party changed in direction (i.e. revolutionized) after JFK’s assassination, any serious person must consider that machinations greater than those of a crazed communist sympathizer named Oswald may be behind JFK’s death.
Sort of ‘The Bedford Incident’ in reverse.
