President John F. Kennedy contained the Cuban Missile Crisis in a largely collaborative effort with his advisers. At the center of his support, we've always found the figure of Robert Kennedy. The views on where Robert standed during the unfolding of the crisis tend to be mixed up.
In the beginning it was the secretary of defence Robert McNamara who argued in favor of a blockade to Cuba instead of a military strike. We can also attribute to him the persuassion over his ExComm colleagues who were trying to push military action.
Several other U.S. officials such as national security adviser McGeorge Bundy and Theodore Sorensen, recongnized <u>the great dangers that using force could cause America by precipitating the risk of Soviet retaliation</u>.
Robert Kennedy was certainly the most influential adviser for JFK,<u> but he wasn't by any means an early supporter of the course of action that ended up resolving the crisis in </u><u>a more diplomatic way</u>, as the President was able to stand up against the pressure and go for a successful blockade.
Hope this helps!
