Mainstream media in the United States for the past 60 years has
converged with the neo-colonial foreign policy objectives of the
state to create a misinformed, biased narrative against the Cuban
revolution. Using extensive examples, including pre-revolutionary
historic coverage, journalist Keith Bolender reveals how the
national press has established an anti-Cuba chronicle in adherence
to Washington's unrelenting regime change policies. From coverage
of the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Cuban Five and the
current issues of Obama's 'Cuban Thaw' in 2014 to the renewed
hostility under the Trump Administration, the edition examines with
specific clarity how damaging corporate media treatment of Cuba is
to the understanding of the revolution and those who continue to
support it. This original treatment scrutinises the foundation for
the media's hostility against Cuba's socialist political/economic
system, providing new insight into the propaganda workings of the
so called 'free' press in the US and across Western liberal
democracies. The work is a unique resource for activists,
journalists and students interested in the ever-complicated
relationship between the United States and its island neighbour to
the south.

Since the early 1960s, no other country has endured more acts of
terrorism against civilian targets than Cuba, and the US has had
its hand in much of it. This book gives a voice to the victims.
Keith Bolender brings to bear the enormous impact that terrorism
has had on Cuba's civilian population, with over 6,000 documented
incidents resulting in more than 3,000 deaths and 2,000 injuries.
It is Bolender's aim to articulate the atrocities the Cuban people
have suffered -- which largely originate from Cuban
counter-revolutionaries based in the US, often with the active help
of the CIA." Voices From The Other Side" includes first-person
interviews with more than 75 Cuban citizens who have been victims
of these terrorist acts, or have had family members or close
friends die from the attacks. It is a unique resource for
activists, journalists and students interested in Cuba's torrid
relationship with the US.
