Amberly's Research: Monday, December 27th, 2010

            Today Amberly looked up "Cuban Missile Crisis" on Wikipedia and searched the references listed at the bottom of the Wikipedia page for credible sources. A lot of the references were books, which were not useful to Amberly, because she was focussing on trying to find websites about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Other references were either on some minor detail of the Cuban Missile Crisis, or seemed unreliable and slightly sketchy (or both). There was two sources that Amberly found that might have been useful. One was a George Washington University site. Amberly decided against using it as a source for our essay because it contained so much information that it would have taken forever to find the information we actually needed. The other was a newspaper article from the Sunday Times. It may prove to be useful, but does not have much information on the Cuban Missile Crisis as a whole. The article is the result of an interview with a major figure from the Cuban Missile Crisis, Che Guevara.
