Description: It is widely acknowledged that Congo became an East-West battlefield during the first half of the decade of the 1960s, yet the participation of Cuban exiles in the struggles is rarely noted. In this volume Villafaña details the contribution made by Cuban exiles to the preservation of democracy in Congo.
