Paterson tells the fascinating story of the love-hate relationship that has grown between Cuba and the USA, from Castro's early fund-raising tours in the USA to support his revolution to Eisenhower's failed efforts to maintain support for Batista.
The first major reassessment of John F. Kennedy's foreign policy
since his death, this volume of original essays compels new
thinking about the 1960s. Basing their analysis on extensive
research in archival documents and oral histories, twelve
accomplished historians explore the primary foreign policy
assumptions and objectives of Kennedy and his advisers. The
contributors examine the Cold War, global crisis, domestic
politics, decision-making, personality and style, and historical
lessons in shaping Kennedy's diplomacy.
This provocative volume, written by the distinguished diplomatic
historian Thomas G. Paterson, explores why and how Americans have
perceived and exaggerated the Communist threat in the last half
century. Basing his spirited analysis on research in private
papers, government archives, oral histories, contemporary writings,
and scholarly works, Paterson explains the origins and evolution of
United States global intervention. Deftly exploring the ideas and
programs of Truman, Kennan, Eisenhower, Dulles, Kennedy, Nixon,
Kissinger, and Reagan, as well as the views of dissenters from the
prevailing Cold War mentality, Paterson reveals the tenacity of
American thinking about threats from abroad. He recaptures the
tumult of the last several decades by treating a wide range of
topics, including post-war turmoil in Western Europe, Mao's rise in
China, the Suez Canal, the Cuban missile crisis, the Vietnam War,
CIA covert actions, and Central America.
