History is being made in U.S.-Cuban relations. Now updated to tell
the story behind the stunning December 17, 2014, announcement by
President Obama and President Castro of their move to restore full
diplomatic relations, this powerful book is essential to
understanding ongoing efforts towards normalization. Challenging
the conventional wisdom of perpetual conflict and aggression
between the United States and Cuba since 1959, Back Channel to Cuba
chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward
rapprochement and reconciliation. William M. LeoGrande and Peter
Kornbluh here present a remarkably new and relevant account,
describing how, despite the intense political clamor surrounding
efforts to improve relations with Havana, negotiations have been
conducted by every presidential administration since Eisenhower's
through secret, back-channel diplomacy. From John F. Kennedy's
offering of an olive branch to Fidel Castro after the missile
crisis, to Henry Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to
Barack Obama's promise of a new approach, LeoGrande and Kornbluh
uncovered hundreds of formerly secret U.S. documents and conducted
interviews with dozens of negotiators, intermediaries, and policy
makers, including Fidel Castro and Jimmy Carter. They reveal a
fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and
furtive, that provides the historical foundation for the dramatic
breakthrough in U.S.-Cuba ties.
