On the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, expert Daniel Erikson explores the twilight of the Castro era and what the future has in store for Americaβs last Cold War enemy. January 1, 2009 will mark a half century for a Cuban regime created and shaped by the powerful will of Fidel Castroβbut the ailing leader may be gone from the scene before the anniversary arrives. The Cuba Wars explores the two crucial questions of the coming era: When Castro dies, what will happen in Cuba? And what will happen in America? There are few international relationships that rival in intimacy, passion, and sheer tension that between the Cuba and the United States.Β In The Cuba Wars, Cuba expert Daniel Erikson draws on extensive visits to Cuba and conversations with both government officials and opposition leadersβplusΒ the key players in Washington and Floridaβto offer an unmatched portrait of a small country with very large importance to America.Β Cuba remains "our last Cold War enemy"βnow closely allied to Hugo Chavezβs Venezuela as it once was to the USSR. Yet itΒ has quietly become a major trade partner for American agribusiness. The "next revolution" there could see Cuba become a multibillion-dollar capitalist economyβor continue as a socialist dystopia, or lapse into civil war. The Cuba Wars is the book to read to understand the present and future of Cuba.
