Summary
This is the first book to examine the Cuban military in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR, a period that created political and economic challenges for Cuba in the absence of Soviet support. By providing important historical and political background, Klepak reveals a complete picture of the development and engagement of the military. This analysis is essential to understanding how U.S-Cuban relations will develop in the future, particularly in the event that a successor to Castro comes to power. Book jacket.
