Cuba: An American Tragedy by Robert Scheer and Maurice Zeitlin

What exactly happened during the Cuban crisis? Why were such deep political passions aroused in America, and to what extent has Cuba been transformed by Castro's revolution? Here at last, in this dispassionate study, two young American scholars, sympathetic and immensely knowledgeable, bring these vital events into focus. In the perspective of U.S. Cuban policy since 1898 they show how American relations with Castro began with misunderstanding and ended in unreasoned panic, and how the 'Communist Menace' began as myth and ended as fact. Cuba almost touched off a nuclear war. This book, which has been revised and brought up to date as a Penguin Special, presents a clear, authoritative study of the developing crisis and the little country at its centre. This 1964 Penguin Books Paperback is in fair condition. Owner's Name inside. Pages very foxed.
