Serhii Plokhy, Nuclear Folly: A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis. New York: W. W. Norton, 2021. 480 pp. $35.00 cloth, $22.00 paper.When reviewing Michael Dobbs's “One Minute to Midnight” in 2008, the late diplomat Richard Holbrooke began, “Any new entry in the crowded field of books on the 1962 Cuban missile crisis must pass an immediate test: Is it just another recapitulation, or does it increase our net understanding of this seminal cold war…

Other Diplomacies, Other Ties: Cuba and Canada in the Shadow of the US
Our men in Havana: Canadian foreign intelligence operations in Castro’s Cuba
Diplomats based at the Canadian embassy in Havana conducted extensive foreign intelligence operations in Fidel Castro’s Cuba from the early 1960s through the early 1970s. They collected human intelligence of both a political and military nature, using covert as well as overt means. They did so generally at the behest of the United States, and undertook specific “tasked” operations on request from the State Department and the US intelligence commu…

Hits and Myths: The Essence, the Puzzles and the Missile Crisis
Graham Allison's Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis is recognized more for its general decision-making models than for its historical analysis. The second (1999) edition, co-authored with Philip Zelikow, adopts the same basic models and answers the same three 'central puzzles' of the missile crisis: (1) why did the USSR deploy nuclear missiles to Cuba; (2) why did the United States blockade Cuba; and (3) why did the USSR wit…
Whither Internationalism
Internationalism and the Canadian Public
Internationalism has long been central to Canadian foreign policy. Although often invoked by governments and individuals, and much debated, it remains an ill-defined, even obscure concept. This article assesses empirically how the Canadian public regards internationalism, and explores the underlying structure of internationalist attitudes. Public opinion data from 1985 provide evidence of four dimensions of attitudes: active, economic, liberal-co…

Acid Rain and Transboundary Air Quality in Canadian-American Relations
Acid was major environmental issue in Canada-United States relations during 1980s. Yet it seemingly disappeared from agenda of 1990s. Certainly no politicians looking to new millennium are likely to characterize as the worst environmental we have to face, as one referred to it in 1977. (1) The widespread public impression, only partly correct, is that problem has been or is being solved. Some observers would tend to point to negotiation and signi…

Electoral Accountability and Canadian Foreign Policy: The Case of Foreign Investment
The notion that the public will guides and even determines public policy-making is, of course, one of the fundamental tenets of democratic theory. To the discomfort of most democratic theorists, it is also one of the most often and most convincingly challenged. Most of the available evidence amassed in recent decades suggests that the influence of public opinion on policy-making, particularly foreign policy-making, is indirect rather than direct,…
