Summary:

During the first half of the twentieth century the United States played a decisive role in shaping Cuban political and economic development. The emergence in the 1950s of a broad- based opposition movement to the Batista dictatorship was viewed by American policymakers as a threat to American interests. Subsequent American policy towards Cuba, as Morley shows in this book, has focused on reasserting American influence over the island. This book sheds new light on American-Cuban relations from their origins in 1952 up through present times and includes an epilogue on "The Reagan Administration and Cuba: The Revival of Vendetta Politics 1981-1985."
