Synopsis

For more than half a century, Cuba has existed under permanent tension — between revolution and reform, survival and stagnation, sovereignty and dependence.

Cuba Explained explores how an island built for extraction became the epicentre of Cold War confrontation, how sanctions reshaped its economy, and how successive governments managed crisis without surrendering political control. From sugar monoculture to Soviet lifeline, from the Special Period to cautious market openings, this is the story of a state that endured by adapting — but never fully transforming.

Accessible, rigorous, and unsentimental, this book offers a structural history of modern Cuba for readers who want clarity rather than slogans.
