January 1984 marked the 25th anniversary of Fidel Castro's
emergence to power. The Cuban Revolution: 25 Years Later is a
product of the CSIS Cuba Project, a long-term effort to focus
public as well as policymaker's attention on Cuba-related affairs.
The lead author, Lord Thomas of Swynnerton, is the dean of
political-historical studies on Cuba, and author of the
encyclopedic Cuba: The Pursuit of Freedom. A great deal of myth
surrounds the evolution of Cuba since Castro's emergence to power
over 25 years ago. Some of this myth is the product of official
Cuban propaganda; some of it is also due to a generally misinformed
American public. Sifting through available data to distinguish
between fact and fiction, this book evaluates broadly the impact of
Castro's regime on Cuba itself. Based on the findings of the CSIS
Cuba Project, the book draws on the assessments of 18 top Cuban
specialists on the political, economic, cuiturai, and social
development of Cuba since 1959. In contrast to democracies such as
Costa Rica, the equalization of society that has taken place under
Castro's leadership has been accomplished by redistributing
existing resources, not by creating new wealth. Moreover, the
authors conclude that in politics, culture, and the economy, Cuba
under Castro has become and remains rigid, stagnant, enormously
militarized, and ideologically absolutist.
