In their work with Cuba, they have visited the country almost 100 times. This book was not written because Cuba is the flavor of the day. It was written because the two authors have a real passion to contribute to the building of bridges connecting the two countries. Cuba: It Matters is timely because of the reopening of diplomatic relations but it is also shares enduring lessons learned in dealing with the U.S. and Cuba. The book addresses the long and conflictive history between the two countries and it proposes guide lines for developing a mutually beneficial relationship.

Paperback. Condition: Good. I wanted to write one more book -- and I wanted it to be about the future. Few leaders have stood on the brink of change to the extent of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Now this commanding world figure draws upon her unrivaled political experience to comment on the threats that democracy faces at the dawn of the new millennium and on the role that Western powers should play in the world's hot spots, especially in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Reflecting on the lessons of the Cold War, Thatcher outlines the foundation of U.S. dominance and its responsibilities as the only global superpower. She offers prescient observations about the dangers posed by Balkan instability, rogue states, Islamic extremism, and international terrorism -- and suggests strategies to counter them. In addition, she examines current trends in Russia, China, India, the Far East, Europe, and, particularly, Great Britain. Noting how every contemporary problem evokes demands for a global solution, Thatcher also warns of overreliance on international institutions at the expense of nation-states. Statecraft is an incisive treatise on power in the age of globalism, written by a legendary world statesman with a matchless combination of principles, experience, and shrewdness.…
