I've always been interested in negotiation. You have a list of what you must have, and what you would like, and what you won't accept, and so does the other guy. Sometimes it comes down to who wants it the most, or who needs it the most, and you have to guess that. If you can walk away from the deal you can usually get a good deal.
What was the real case here? Before the crisis the US had missiles in Turkey and afterwards they didn't. The Soviets gained an advantage, at least as they saw it, while the US gained a PR advantage.
