First sentence: On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, the United States and Cuba remain locked in a long cold war that seems likely to persist, in some fashion, irrespective of which presidential candidate has seized the White House or how boldly or timidly the new Cuban leadership seeks to govern the island.
Description: "In The Cuba Wars, Daniel Erikson draws on extensive visits to Cuba and conversations with Cubans from across the political spectrum - plus the key players in Washington and Florida - to offer the most vivid and up-to-date portrait of a small country with very large importance to America."--Jacket.
