Cuba: An American Tragedy by Robert Scheer and Maurice Zeitlin (Vintage 1964 Edition)

Description

“Cuba: An American Tragedy” is actually co-authored by Robert Scheer and Maurice Zeitlin. The book was first published in 1963.

In the book, Scheer and Zeitlin examine the history of US-Cuba relations, from the Spanish-American War to the present day. They argue that the US government’s policy towards Cuba has been driven by a misguided Cold War mentality, and has caused immense harm to both the Cuban people and American interests.

The authors also discuss the Cuban Revolution, the rise of Fidel Castro, and the subsequent US efforts to overthrow the Castro regime. They argue that these efforts have only served to strengthen the Cuban government’s hold on power, and have made it more difficult to achieve positive change in Cuba.

Overall, “Cuba: An American Tragedy” offers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of US-Cuba relations, and makes a compelling case for a new approach based on diplomacy and engagement.
