Cuba Wars - by Daniel P Erikson (Paperback)

About the Book

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, Erikson explores the twilight of the Castro era and what the future has in store for America's last Cold War enemy.

Book Synopsis

There are few international relationships as intimate, as passionate-and as dysfunctional-as that of the United States and Cuba. In The Cuba Wars, Cuba expert Daniel Erikson draws on extensive visits and conversations with both Cuban government officials and opposition leaders-plus key players in Washington and Florida-to offer an unmatched portrait of a small country with outsized importance to Americans and American policy.
