Cuba: An American History - Ada Ferrer

In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Cuba, where a momentous revolution had taken power three years earlier. For more than half a century, the stand-off continued—through the tenure of ten American presidents and the fifty-year rule of Fidel Castro. His death in 2016, and the retirement of his brother and successor Raúl Castro in 2021, have spurred questions about the country’s future. Now, award-winning historian Ada Ferrer delivers an important and moving chronicle that demands a new reckoning with both the island’s past and its relationship with the United States.
