Synopsis

This study provides a re-examination of the achievements and failures of the Cuban revolution. It places the revolution within the context of 20th century Cuban history, beginning with the inauguration of the republic in 1902 to Castro's entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959, and highlights the factors which made Cuba susceptible to revolution.

Review

Praise for the previous edition: "This is by far the best work I have read on contemporary Cuba. It is a competent study that strives for -- and achieves -- remarkable impartiality. The Cuban Revolution conveys the probing intelligence and profound thoughtfulness that produces permanence. It is a work no just for a single season but for a very long time." --Franklin W. Knight, The John Hopkins University "What we have in The Cuban Revolution is the most complete, sustained intellectual effort to do with the Cuban revolution what dozens of authors have done for the Mexican -- to indicate the native roots of the rebellion and, most importantly, to demonstrate how these roots were of primordial significance in determining the evolution of the revolution over the course of nearly haft a century. This is no small achievement, and it establishes P rez-Stable as a major voice in the study of Latin American politics and society." --Lars Schoultz, University of North Carolina Praise for the previous edition: "This is by far the best work I have read on contemporary Cuba.
