Response to Revolution: The United States and the Cuban Revolution, 1959-1961

by Richard E. Welch

Overview

The Cuban Revolution was a catalyst in shaping American foreign policy over the past generation. Welch's study is the first detailed evaluation of U.S. policy toward Cuba in the early years of the Castro regime and the first effort to analyze public sentiment during that crucial period. Our response to Cuba was a mirror of our Cold War assumptions and frustrations—and of our apprehensions concerning revolutionary movements abroad.
