January 1, 2009 marked a half century for the Cuban regime created and shaped by the powerful will of Fidel Castro, who transferred power to his brother Raúl earlier this year. What does the end of Fidel’s leadership mean for the future of Cuba? What will it mean for the United States?
Canning House and the IISC hosted the launch of senior associate for U.S. policy at the Inter-American Dialogue Daniel P. Erikson’s latest publication when he discussed these questions raised in his exciting new book: The Cuba Wars: Fidel Castro, the United States,and the Next Revolution.
"Dan Erikson unravels the multiple arguments that swirl about Cuba between Cubans on both sides of the Straitsof Florida, the governments in Washington and Havana, and those for whom Cuba is the cause of either gloriousrevolution or brutal repression. He sheds light on substantive policies, stylistic differences, and deeply-held public values in clear, accessible prose, with fascinating stories that illustrate the larger drama." Jorge I. Domínguez, Harvard University
