i have to write a paper for a class.....on a historical event...in which later on in the semester i have to compare and contrast the analysis of two historians..
anyways...
the topic i am thinking about choosing is the CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS.
anyone have any info on this...or a very brief general overview.
thanks for your help people. figured id pick a more recent topic where more information is still fresh in peoples minds.

Look this up.
“White House Tapes and Minutes of the Cuban Missile Crisis,” International Security, vol. 10, Summer 1985, pp. 164-203.
It is a good place to start, peace."Things just ain't the same"

Get any history book on the subject and check the bibliography for its sources... you should be able to find a few different historical accounts just from there alone... pick 2 and compare.

wikipedia is actually excellent for overview, not for heavy duty research and details. those edits are checked my friend, it's quite accurate.
