Authors@Google: Michael Dobbs

2008-11-19T04:47:12Z

Author Michael Dobbs visits Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss his book "One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War". This event took place on October 8, 2008, as part of the Authors@google series.

In October 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union appeared to be sliding inexorably toward a nuclear conflict over the placement of missiles in Cuba. In One Minute to Midnight, Veteran Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs has pored over previously untapped American, Soviet, and Cuban sources to produce the most authoritative book yet on the Cuban missile crisis. In his hour-by-hour chronicle of those near-fatal days, Dobbs reveals some startling new incidents that illustrate how close we came to Armageddon.

Michael Dobbs was born in Belfast, Ireland, and educated at the University of York, with fellowships at Princeton and Harvard. He is a reporter for The Washington Post, where he spent much of his career as a foreign correspondent covering the collapse of communism. His Down with Big Brother: The Fall of the Soviet Empire was a finalist for a 1997 PEN award. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland.

DOBBS Twofer: Dubai Ports Redux & War on Middle Class

2008-10-16T21:30:37Z

This is a great twofer from Dobbs because together they hit on so much of what is wrong with the Bush administration and the country. First, in a Dubai Ports repeat, the Bush admin is rolling out an absurd Mexican truck driver program that cannot help national security and will surely cost thousands of American jobs.

From absurd to absurd as the second segment covers CEO pay.
