Synopsis

In the post-Cold War era, the United States and Cuba have navigated a complex and evolving relationship, marked by both challenges and opportunities. This book delves into the intricacies of US-Cuba relations, providing a comprehensive analysis of the historical, political, economic, and social factors that have shaped their interaction.

Through in-depth research and analysis, this book offers a fresh perspective on the dynamics between the two nations. It examines the impact of the US embargo on Cuba, tracing its origins, assessing its consequences, and exploring the potential for its lifting. The book also sheds light on the role of the Cuban exile community in shaping US policy towards Cuba, highlighting the influence of Cuban-American politicians, lobbyists, and interest groups.

Furthermore, the book explores the efforts made by various US administrations to engage with Cuba, including the historic 2014 rapprochement between Presidents Barack Obama and Raúl Castro. It analyzes the challenges and successes of this diplomatic opening, assessing its implications for future relations between the two countries.

Moving beyond the bilateral relationship, the book examines the broader regional and global context of US-Cuba relations. It explores Cuba's involvement in Latin American and Caribbean affairs, as well as its role in international organizations and forums. The book also assesses the potential for cooperation between the two nations on issues of mutual concern, such as climate change, migration, and drug trafficking.

As the book delves into the future of US-Cuba relations, it identifies the remaining obstacles to improved relations, including the continued existence of the embargo and the unresolved issue of human rights in Cuba. It assesses the challenges of lifting the embargo and the potential impact of a more normalized relationship between the two countries. The book also examines the role of Congress in shaping US policy towards Cuba and the prospects for future bilateral agreements.

With its comprehensive analysis and insightful perspectives, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of US-Cuba relations. It offers a nuanced examination of the historical, political, economic, and social factors that have shaped their interaction, and it sheds light on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for these two neighboring nations.

A Smack at the Boche - WW2...

Johnny Parker

"I'm not a coward, but when 11 inch shells come screaming at you, well I know why the Navy supply two pairs of pants." 
If you like Max Hastings and World War Two naval history then you will love this autobiography which gives an easy to read insider view of life in the Royal Navy during the war. 
Ronnie Turner had set his sights on a career with the Royal Navy and like Ant Middleton, he wouldn't stop until he'd achieved his goal of having 'a smack at the boche'.

Drawn from Ronnie's illegal war diary and illustrated with never seen before photographs of life on board a Royal Navy heavy cruiser, this enjoyable tale of pocket battleships, torpedoed crews and Admiral Harwood's tattoo's, all sprinkled with Spike Milligan like humour, make this a story you won't want to put down.
