Online resources: Summary: "The Cuban revolution was one of the defining moments of the 20th century its influence reaching far beyond the shores of the tiny Caribbean island. From the euphoria of the early years to the devastating economic crisis of the 1990s, this book proves a sweeping vision of revolutionary Cuba --its challenges, its defeats, its impact on the world. Focusing on 45 decisive moments such as the Bay of pigs invasion and the Missile Crisis, this updated edition also features more recent events such as the demise of the Soviet Union, the visit of Pope John Paul II to Cuba, the crisis over the Cuban child Elián González, and Fidel Castor's decision to step down. The editor's introduction takes a critical look at Cuba's decades-long relationship with the Soviet Union and an epilogue considers the prospects for the revolution without Fidel Castro. Drawing on abroad range of primary sources, this is an outstanding resource for scholars and all those interested in gaining an understanding of five decades of Cuban and Latin American history."
