The twentieth-century history of Cuba borders on fantasy. This
diminutive country boldly and repeatedly exercises the foreign
policy of a major power. Although closely tied to the United States
through most of its modern history, Cuba successfully defied the
U.S. government after 1959, consolidated its own power, and
defeated an invasion of U.S.-backed exiles at the Bay of Pigs in
1961. Fidel Castro then brought the world alarmingly close to
nuclear war in 1962. Jorge Dominguez presents a comprehensive
survey of Cuban international relations since Castro came to power.
Dominguez unravels Cuba's response to the 1962 missile crisis and
the U.S.-Soviet understandings that emerged from that. He explores
the ties that link Cuba to the U.S.S.R. and other Communist
countries; analyzes Cuban support for revolutionary movements
throughout the world, especially in Latin America and Africa; and
assesses the significance of Cuban political and economic relations
with Western Europe, Canada, and Japan. Some have charged that Cuba
does not have a foreign policy, that Fidel Castro merely takes
orders from his Soviet bosses. Dominguez argues that there is
indeed a specifically Cuban foreign policy, poised not only between
hegemony and autonomy, between compliance and self-assertion, but
also between militancy and pragmatism. He believes that within the
context of Soviet hegemony Cuba's foreign policy is very much its
own, and he marshals impressive evidence to support this belief.
His book is based on extensive documentation from Cuba, the United
States, and other countries, as well as from many in-depth
interviews carried out during trips to Cuba.
