"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. ... Meanwhile, politics in Washington—Barack Obama’s opening to the island,
Donald Trump’s reversal of that policy, and the election of Joe
Biden—have made the relationship between the two nations a subject of
debate once more. Now, award-winning
historian Ada Ferrer delivers an ambitious and moving chronicle written
for a moment that demands a new reckoning with both the island’s past
and its relationship with the United States. Spanning more than five
centuries, Cuba: An American History provides us with a
front-row seat as we witness the evolution of the modern nation, with
its dramatic record of conquest and colonization, of slavery and
freedom, of independence and revolutions made and unmade. ...”
