Cuba in Revolution

"The retirement of Fidel Castro turned the world's attention once more towards the island nation of Cuba. Amid the predictions of what its future holds, it is worth taking a moment to consider how Cuba has reached this point. Antoni Kapcia provides this with his incisive history of Cuba since the 1950s." "A fascinating and much-needed examination of a country that has served as an important political symbol and as a diplomatic enigma for much of the twentieth century, Cuba in Revolution is a critical primer for all those interested in Cuba's past - or concerned with its future."--BOOK JACKET.

Antoni Kapcia is professor of Latin American history at the University of Nottingham. He is also the author of Cuba: Island of Dreams and Havana: The Making of Cuban Culture, and coeditor of The Changing Dynamic of Cuban Civil Society.
