[Owen Hatherley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A British designer's notes on a journey to Cuba during - unbeknownst to him - the Missile Crisis, run together with a historian's countdown to the (near) apocalypse; the two threads are interspersed with images and other accounts from the time, and it's all beautifully designed and put together.
