Synopsis
One of the most influental political science works written in the post World War II era, the original edition of Essence of Decision is a unique and fascinating examination of the pivotal event of the cold Cold War. Not simply revised, but completely re-written, the Second Edition of this classic text is a fresh reinterpretation of the theories and events surrounding the Cuban Missle Crisis, incorporating all new information from the Kennedy tapes and recently declassified Soviet files. Essence of Decision Second Edition, is a vivid look at decision-making under pressure and is the only single volume work that attempts to answer the enduring question: how should citizens understand the actions of their government?

    The seller shipped the books quickly and were delivered on time. Packaging was superb, so good that the books arrived in mint condition just as advertised. No damage at all. I appreciated the care given to the package a lot. Shipping cost was okay, these were heavy books and the shipping was tracked. No problems at all communicating with the seller, all my questions were answered. All in all I'm very satisfied hence the 5 star positive feedback to the seller.

    The book came wrapped in plastic with extra protection. It arrived quickly and matched the description as well. For a used book that’s damage, the quality is great, at a great price and I’m excited to read it!! The seller was polite and communicated with me on concerns that I had. Thank you so much and I would definitely buy again from them.
