"A leader will be forced into countless situations that they have never been in before. Trying, painful, stressful, baffling dilemmas and difficulties unlike any they have known. Nothing could have prepared Kennedy for the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it\\u2019s a good thing he had read B. H. Liddell Hart a few years before\\u2014it was Hart\\u2019s wisdom that helped Kennedy rationally and calmly deal with that unprecedented moment.
