The U.S. Policy on Cuba

With the embargo on Cuba ending, it is more important than ever to understand the key ideas underpinning U.S. policy toward Cuba. We often think of the embargo as a necessary step in resisting communist expansion in North America, but what were the costs for those who on the other side of the policy? This anthology interprets the relationship between the two countries from conflicting perspectives, giving the reader a chance to understand this complex history beyond staid political talking points.
