Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Stefan Rudnicki masterfully captures the urgency and intensity of the Cuban Missile Crisis in his narration. His performance is particularly striking during the tense moments leading up to the crisis, where his voice conveys the mounting pressure on President Kennedy. Draper’s writing is clear and engaging, but it can be overly detailed at times, which might slow down the pacing for some listeners. However, these meticulous details are crucial in understanding the complex geopolitical landscape of the era. Overall, ‘To Start a War’ is an audiobook that should be mandatory listening for anyone interested in Cold War history or presidential decision-making under extreme pressure.
