Summary: An informative look behind the scenes of a major event
Comment: Michael Beschloss is one of the best historians writing today. Known best for his work profiling American presidents, this book focuses on Ike's last years framed by the ongoing, growing military rivalry between the Cold War superpowers. Packed with detail, it is loaded with more information and behind-the-scenes nuggets than I ever kne existed regarding the famous U-2 incident. Knowing some of the people in the program, I certainly learned more about the times discussed and some of the issues involved from the book than from them. The extreme secrecy involved still persists among them today; the book is the best source I have to learn what was happening in those tense days. Mayday is a very well-written book, and has a lot of useful infomration. It would be best enjoyed by Cold War enthusiasts and fans of the period, but its writing and style make it easy to read and comprehend for all.
