Title: Fifty years of revolution
Description: In the years since the Cuban Revolution, eleven men have served as president of the United States, arguably the most powerful nation on earth. Yet none of them has been able to effect any significant change in the stalemate between the United States and Cuba, its closest neighbor not to share a land border.

Fifty Years of Revolution features contributions from an international group of leading scholars. This unique volume adopts a nonpartisan attitude, a departure from this topic's generally divisive nature.

Emerging from a series of meetings, conference panels, and lectures, this book coheres more strongly than the typical essay collection. Organized to analyze-not describe-Cuba's foreign relations, the work examines sanctions, the embargo, regime change, Guantánamo, the exile community, and more.

Drawing from personal experiences as well as recently declassified documents, the authors of these essays update, summarize, and explain one of the prickliest ongoing political issues in the Western Hemisphere today.
