This book examines the history of United States foreign policy
toward Cuba, focusing on critical junctures and recent strategic
shifts. Restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, which were
severed officially in January 1961, was a huge shift in U.S.
foreign policy. Relations between Cuba and the United States were
tumultuous throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and
almost escalated into full blown nuclear war in October 1962 during
the Cuban missile crisis. The restoration of diplomatic relations
marks a fundamental departure as the two countries chart a new
course into the twenty-first century. This book traces over seven
hundred years of history, setting the context to base an argument
in favor of rapprochement. It illustrates the importance of the
Cuba deal to break with the past and delegitimize anti-Americanism
in the world.
