Edited by Julio Garcia Luis
The Cuban Revolution was one of the defining moments of the 20th century, reaching far beyond the shores of the tiny Caribbean island.
This new Reader documents the past four decades of Cuban history and its tumultuous revolution. It presents a comprehensive overview of key events in Cuba, the revolution's impact in Latin America, Central America and Africa, and relations with the United States.
This Reader focuses on 40 decisive moments, including the Bay of Pigs, the Missile Crisis, Fidel Castro at the U. N., Cuba's relations with the Soviet Union and the 1990s economic crisis.
Many of these materials are published in English for the first time, making this Reader an outstanding resource for both scholars and general readers.
