Fidel Castro's triumphant march into Havana on January 8, 1959
signaled the end to Cuba's old order and the beginning of a new
era. This one-stop guide to the Cuban revolution analyzes Castro's
drive to oust Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The reader will
gain an understanding of the revolt and its causes and
consequences. Two additional chapters examine Castro's efforts to
pursue an independent foreign policy and an analysis of the
ever-changing characteristics of the Cuban-American community and
its relationship to the homeland. A variety of selected documents
supplement the main points of each chapter.
Ready-reference features include: a chronology of events in the
history of Cuba and the Cuban revolution; lengthy biographical
profiles of 23 major figures in the history of Cuba and the
revolution that provide the reader with insights into the political
thinking and contributions each made to the Cuban historical
experience; and the text of 15 key primary documents on the topics,
including statements by Fidel Castro, President John F. Kennedy,
and President Bill Clinton. A glossary of frequently cited terms,
an annotated bibliography, and photos make this work ideally suited
for student research.
