The Cuban Drumbeat (What Was Communism?),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Reflecting on Cubas unique foreign policyboth its meaning and its legacyand how Cuba has adjusted to a world dominated by the United States, Piero Gleijeses asserts in The Cuban Drumbeat that it has been a policy without equal in modern times. During the cold war, extracontinental military interventions were the preserve of the two superpowers, a few West European countries, and Cuba. Gleijeses documents how the rest of the world was regularly stunned by Cubas massive uses of force, including the 197576 dispatch of 36,000 Cuban soldiers to Angola to repel a South African invasion, the 12,000 Cuban soldiers sent to Ethiopia in 1978 to help defeat a Somali invasion, and the 55,000 Cuban soldiers present in Angola by 1988. Even the Soviet Union sent far fewer troops beyond its immediate borders in those years than did Cuba.The Cuban Drumbeat describes how the cold war framed three decades of Castros revolutionary zeal; but, Gleijeses argues, Castros vision was always larger than the cold war. For Castro, the battle against imperialismhis raison dtreis more than the struggle against the United States: it is the war against despair and oppression in the Third Worlda war that continues even though the future of Castros policies is uncertain.
