''Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis'' is Robert F. Kennedy's account of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The book was released in 1969, a year after his assassination.〔Haruya Anami, "'Thirteen Days' Thirty Years After: Robert Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis Revisited," ''Journal of American & Canadian Studies'' (1994) Issue 12, pp 69-88.〕 ''Thirteen Days'' describes the meetings held by the Executive Committee (ExComm), the team assembled by US President John F. Kennedy to handle the tense situation that developed between the United States and the USSR following the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, from Florida. Robert Kennedy, who was the US Attorney General at the time, describes his brother John's leadership style during the crisis as involved, but not controlling. Robert Kennedy viewed the military leaders on the council sympathetically, and recognized that their lifelong concentration on war was difficult to set aside. The book was used as the basis for the 1974 television play ''The Missiles of October''. In 2000, the theatrical film ''Thirteen Days'' was produced using the same title, but based on an entirely different book, ''The Kennedy Tapes: Inside the White House During the Cuban Missile Crisis'' by Ernest May and Philip Zelikow. That book contained some information that Kennedy was not able to reveal because it was classified at the time. ==Notes== 〔
