The United States and the Origins of the Cuban Revolution: An Empire of Liberty in an Age of National Liberation

Предна корица
Princeton University Press, 1990 - 235 страници

Jules Benjamin argues convincingly that modern conflicts between Cuba and the United States stem from a long history of U.S. hegemony and Cuban resistance. He shows what difficulties the smaller country encountered because of U.S. efforts first to make it part of an "empire of liberty" and later to dominate it by economic methods, and he analyzes the kind of misreading of ardent nationalism that continues to plague U.S. policymaking.
