Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:US journalist Erlich has written previous books about hidden US
policy regarding the Middle East and Iraq. On the eve of the 50th
anniversary of the triumph of the revolution in Cuba, and in the wake
of Fidel's retirement, he visited Havana. He discusses the state of
relations between the island nation and its gigantic neighbor to the
north from the perspective of Cuba, Washington, and Miami, and places
it in the context of its long history. His topics include the origins
of the Cuba lobby, the US embargo, Cuba's controversial domestic and
foreign policies, organic farms, Jewish jokes, the Buena Vista Social
Club, women, racism, and prospects for change.

He explores Cuba's strained history with the US, the power of the Cuba Lobby and offers a fresh look at the island nation nearly 50 years after their historic Revolution to create a tableau that is at once moving and informative. This will be the stand-out book about Cuba during the media coverage of the anniversary. It will lay out the options and challenges facing the next American president. He concludes with prospects for policy change following the death of Fidel Castro.
