Contesting Castro cover

Paterson tells the fascinating story of the love-hate relationship that has grown between Cuba and the USA, from Castro's early fund-raising tours in the USA to support his revolution to Eisenhower's failed efforts to maintain support for Batista.

Thomas Paterson, in Contesting Castro, details US policy toward Cuba and Castro since the 1950s with the acumen of a respected and widely read diplomatic historian ... His book is a blend of journalism and academic analysis, whose strength lies in fascinating detail culled from US archival sources. * Times Educational Supplement *
