Drawing on a vast array of original testimonies, including interviews with more than seventy Cuban officials and former combatants, Dirk Kruijt examines the pivotal role of veterans and the post-revolution fidelista generation in shaping Cuba. He also reveals the untold story of the Departamento Ame?rica, a clandestine and largely undocumented organization that was instrumental in exercising Cuban influence abroad. --Publisher's description. 330 $a"The Cuban revolution served as a rallying cry to people across Latin America and the Caribbean. The revolutionary regime has provided vital support to the rest of the region, offering everything from medical and development assistance to training and advice on guerrilla warfare. Cuba and Revolutionary Latin America is the first oral history of Cuba's liberation struggle. Drawing on a vast array of original testimonies, Dirk Kruijt looks at the role of both veterans and the post-Revolution fidelista generation in shaping Cuba and the Americas. Featuring the testimonies of over sixty Cuban officials and former combatants, Cuba and Revolutionary Latin America offers unique insight into a nation which, in spite of its small size and notional pariah status, remains one of the most influential countries in the Americas."--Publisher's description 606 $a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000$2bicssc 607 $aCuba$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLatin America$xHistory$y20th century 615 7$a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 676 $a972.9106/4 700 $aKruijt$b Dirk$0978020 801 0$bTOH 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155203003321 996 $aCuba and revolutionary Latin America$92765193 997 $aUNINA
