Description
Cuba A New History by Richard Gott offers a fresh perspective on the island's entire revolutionary past and the most recent decades of the Castro regime. This concise and up-to-date book provides a European view on a country often seen from the American point of view, shedding light on lesser-known aspects of Cuba's history, such as its tradition of racism and violence, and the lasting influence of Spain. Gott explores the Revolution's relationship with the Soviet Union, military exploits in Africa, and Castro's attempts to promote revolution in Latin America and among American blacks. He also tells the extraordinary story of the Revolution's survival in the post-Soviet years. By casting a broad eye over Cuba's history, from its pre-Columbian origins to the present day, Gott provides a nuanced understanding of this complex and often contentious nation.
