Summary:

This book utilizes a number of previously unused sources to examine the relationship between Moscow and Havana in the period between the Russian and Cuban Revolutions. It provides a number of important conclusions including that prior to the January 1959, Moscow took considerable interest in the island as a multifaceted relationship existed. These findings are important for both the relationship that rapidly developed after the Cuban Revolution and for contemporary Russian-Cuban relations.
