Back From the Future

Cuba Under Castro

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Back From the Future" is the definitive analysis of Castro's Cuba from 1959 to the present. The Second Edition contains a new Preface and Epilogue by the author addressing such important changes of the last decade as the growing immigrant community of Cuban-Americans in Florida, the withering U.S. embargo on Cuba, the role of Cubans in the 2000 elections, and the inevitable transition of power now that Castro is in his seventies. No other book on Cuba offers such an in-depth and grounded historical analysis.
