"Thirteen Days", written by Robert F. Kennedy, is an account of the Cuban Missile Crisis based on the view of Robert F. Kennedy. This book contains Kennedy's thoughts about the Cuban Missile Crisis and the actions that he and the rest of the United States cabinet took to prevent a nuclear disaster and World War III. There is also a movie based on the book starring Kevin Costner. Most movies that are based on books …showed first 75 words of 756 total…

…showed last 75 words of 756 total…new to me. I didn't think the book was boring at all, and the movie was the same. I thought the movie was directed very well with very few mistakes and differences. The movie and book were extremely similar in the fact that they shared the same events that led to the crisis, the influence of Adlai Stevenson, and the compromise of the Soviet Union and the United States and how that compromise was formed.
