From the Inside Flap
Here is the real story of the Cuban revolution and the United States, told in documents which most of us were never expected to see.
Castro's decision to spin Cuba into the Soviet orbit and ultimately embroil the Caribbean island in the Cold War was part of his "grand design", contends Mark Falcoff, not a reaction to specific American policies. In his new book, the American Enterprise Institute scholar shatters long-standing myths about the early years of the Cuban revolution, drawing primarily on previously classified source materials, but also memoirs, congressional testimony, and other primary sources. Much of the text rests upon the more than one-thousand page Foreign Relations of the United States, 1958-1960: Cuba, published by the U.S. Department of State, but here enriched with notes, additional materials and clarifying references, and linked by a narrative which provides a necessary historical and chronological background.
The Cuban Revolution and the United States: A History in Documents 1958-1960 comprehends three distinct periods. Teh first year covers the decline of the Batista regime. The second year chronicles efforts of a new U.S. ambassador to find a modus vivendi with the revolutionary regime and its leaders. The third year, the turning point, came in March 1960, when the U.S. government decided it could no longer "work" with Castro, and opted for economic warfare with a view to bringing him down.
