Any open-minded discussion about the asymmetrical Cuba\u2013U.S. relations should start with this highly readable, informative book.<\/p>\n

\u2014 James D. Cockcroft, three-time Fulbright Scholar<\/p>\n

An expert on Cuba, Arnold August offers a revealing view of the conflict between Washington and Havana and the foreign policy of the United States vis-\u00e0-vis the island.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Salim Lamrani, Sorbonne Paris IV University<\/p>\n

This book could not have been more timely. With Fidel Castro\u2019s death focusing outside attention on Cuba\u2019s future and with Trump\u2019s election throwing U.S.\u2013Cuban \u201cnormalization\u201d into question, Arnold August contests the common assumptions and public rhetoric about Cuban politics and about that \u201cnormalization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Antoni Kapcia, University of Nottingham<\/p>\n

August provides the reader with a bridge across time and nations to understand the changes that have led to the \u201cnormalization\u201d of Cuba\u2013U.S. relations and serves as a guide to the Trump future.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Helen Yaffe, London School of Economics<\/p>\n

Here at last for English-speaking readers is a full overview of U.S. relations with Cuba from Cuban points of view. The book is essential background for understanding whatever President Trump has in store.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cliff DuRand, Morgan State University<\/p>\n

In this new book, August puts forth a valuable, detailed account of U.S.\u2013Cuba relations dating back to 1783 and continuing to the present time. August explains what this opening means for both countries, and where he sees U.S.\u2013Cuba relations heading after the death of Fidel Castro at age 90 and the rise of U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Daniel Kovalik, teacher of international human rights, University of Pittsburgh, School of Law<\/p>\n

In his third book, August\u2019s deft analysis, firmly grounded in a prolonged exposure to Cuban history and debates while mapping out the possible future developments, makes for an enlightening book.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Claude Morin, professor (retired) of Latin American history, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n

The book provides valuable insights into what we might expect from a Trump government in the post-Fidel era. This book is a must-read for understanding the constantly evolving imperialist strategies of the United States, not only in Cuba, but throughout the world in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Garry Leech, independent journalist and teacher of international politics, Cape Breton University<\/p>\n

August engages critically with Cuban intellectuals and bloggers fighting in the \u201cCultural War\u201d, challenging the Revolution\u2019s cohesion since the 2014 \u201cnormalization\u201d process began.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Steve Ludlam, senior lecturer (retired), University of Sheffield, and editorial board member,\u00a0International Journal of Cuban Studies<\/p>\n

The book is a timely and valuable source of clear analysis of Cuba\u2013U.S. relations at the dawn of the Trump era.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Pepe Ross, adjunct professor, University of Albany, State University of New York<\/p>\n
