Summary:
"From the authors of the bestselling The Finest Hours comes the riveting, deeply human story of President
John
F
.
Kennedy
and two U-2 pilots, Rudy Anderson and Chuck Maultsby, who risked their lives to save
America
during the Cuban Missile Crisis. During the ominous two weeks of the
Cold
War'
s
terrifying peak, two things saved humanity: the strategic wisdom of
John
F
.
Kennedy
and the U-2 aerial
spy
program. On October 27, 1962,
Kennedy
, strained from back pain, sleeplessness, and days of impossible tension, was briefed about a missing
spy
plane. Its pilot, Chuck Maultsby, was on a surveillance
mission
over the North Pole, but had become disoriented and steered his plane into Soviet airspace. If detected, its presence there could be considered an act of
war
. As the president and his advisers wrestled with this information, more bad news came: another U-2 had gone missing, this one belonging to Rudy Anderson. His
mission
: to photograph missile sites over Cuba. For the president, any wrong move could turn the
Cold
War
nuclear.
Above
and
Beyond
is the intimate, gripping account of the lives of these three
war
heroes, brought together on a day that changed history."--From publisher.
