SHORT HISTORIES A SHORT HISTORY OF REVOLUTION...

A concise  engaging and accessible history of Cuban culture  society and politics in the
revolutionary era. Kapcia authoritatively explores the 'essence' of the Cuban revolution 
revealing it to be a maverick phenomenon tied not so much to socialism or Communism for their
own sakes but instead to an idealistic vision of postcolonial nationalism. Reassessing the
Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962  the author examines the central personalities: not just the
famous trio of Che Guevara  Fidel and Raúl Castro in shaping the ideas of the revolution but 
still further back  the visionary ideology of José Martí. Kapcia's book reflects on the future
of the revolution as Raúl and his government begin to cede power to a new generation.
