Beskrivning

Based on unprecedented research in Cuban, American and European archives, this is an account of Cuban policy in Africa from 1959 to 1976 and of its escalating clash with US policy towards the continent. Piero Gleijeses aims to shed new light on US foreign policy and CIA covert operations, revolutionize the view of Cuba's international role and provide the first look from the inside at Cuba's foreign policy during the Cold War.

"Fascinating... and often downright entertaining.... Gleijeses recounts the Cuban story with considerable flair, taking good advantage of rich material." - Washington Post Book World; "Gleijeses's research... bluntly contradicts the Congressional testimony of the era and the memoirs of Henry A. Kissinger." - New York Times; "With the publication of Conflicting Missions, Piero Gleijeses establishes his reputation as the most impressive historian of the Cold War in the Third World." - John Lewis Gaddis, author of We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History
