Reviews
This book could not have been more timely. With Fidel Castro's death focusing outside attention on Cuba's future and with Trump's election throwing U.S.-Cuban "normalization" into question, Arnold August contests the common assumptions and public rhetoric about Cuban politics and about that "normalization.", For those who want a fresh and reasoned perspective on Cuba and U.S. relations -- and with it a perspective very different from that which we get from the mainstream Western media -- this book is a must-read., Any open-minded discussion about the obviously asymmetrical relations between Cuba and the United States should start with this highly readable informative book. Based on deep research, including use of historical U.S. government documents and extensive field work inside Cuba, it should be acquired by libraries, students, and people about to travel to Cuba, journalists, government employees, and academics working in international affairs., 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., Arnold August's bristling collection of interventions vigorously debunks U.S.-centric misrepresentations of Cuban society and of Obama's new 'regime change' strategy. It also engages critically with Cuban intellectuals and bloggers fighting in the 'Cultural War,' challenging the Revolution's cohesion since the 2014 'normalization' process began., August's 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., A timely and valuable source of clear analysis of Cuba-U.S. relations at the dawn of the Trump era, and an indispensable tome for activists and others interested in furthering normalized relations between Cuba and the U.S. and asserting Cuba's right to self-determination and sovereignty over all its territory., 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-à-vis the island., August provides the reader with a bridge across time and nations to understand the changes that have led to the "normalization" of Cuba-U.S. relations and serves as a guide to the Trump future., Arnold August's new book on Cuba dispels the propaganda and myths perpetuated by both the U.S. corporate media and the Obama administration and provides valuable insights into what we might expect from a Trump government in the post-Fidel era.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
