Back channel to Cuba : the hidden history of negotiations between Washington and Havana

Description

"Auxiliándose de la investigación de archivos clasificados estadounidenses referentes a varios episodios de diálogo entre Washington y La Habana, el estudio de diversos registros oficiales como el archivo del departamento de Estado y las entrevistas a personajes clave, como Fidel Castro y Jimmy Carter, los autores realizan un análisis político y periodístico completo sobre la historia de las relaciones diplomáticas oficiales y no oficiales entre Estados Unidos y Cuba, desde 1959 hasta la actualidad."--Amazon.

Description

"Challenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual hostility between the United States and Cuba--beyond invasions, covert operations, assassination plots using poison pens and exploding seashells, and a grinding economic embargo--this fascinating book chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward rapprochement and reconciliation. Since 1959, conflict and aggression have dominated the story of U.S.-Cuban relations. Now, LeoGrande and Kornbluh present a new and increasingly more relevant account. From Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Castro after the missile crisis, to Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Obama's promise of a 'new approach, ' LeoGrande and Kornbluh reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, indicating a path toward better relations in the future"--Provided by publisher.
