Cuban Revolution Reader
A documentary history of Fidel Castro's Revolution
Edited by Julio García Luis
The editor's introduction takes a critical look at Cuba's decades-long relationship with the Soviet Union and an epilogue considers the prospects for the revolution without Fidel Castro.
Drawing on a broad range of primary sources, this is an outstanding resource for scholars and all those interested in gaining an understanding of five decades of Cuban and Latin American history.
Cuba has lived a dramatic life with successes as well as failures. Alone and abandoned by all after the Soviet Union disappeared, it had to resist heroically some very hard years during which the United States intensified its economic and political aggression. Today Cuba forges a path to craft its own unique socialist system, rooted on its own historical experience and with the active participation of its people.
—Ricardo Alarcón
