Susan Eckstein describes how and explains why Cuban Communism has been misperceived and misunderstood abroad. Concealed behind Marxist-Leninist rhetoric and Castro's autocratic single-party rule has been a government promoting a cradle-to-grave welfare state, tolerating market reforms, foreign investment, Western trade, and hard currency "internationalism." Not only has Castro's Cuba been less ideologically driven by Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy than has heretofore been believed, it also has been less omnipotent.

Vendeur : Don's Book Store, Albuquerque, NM, Etats-Unis
Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Second Printing. 286 Pages Indexed. No marks or stamps on this tight biright book. Contents in Four Chapters: The Limits and Possibilities of Socialism, The Push for Communism and the Retreat to Socialism, The Late 1980s Campaign to Rectify Errors and Negative Tendencies - socialist Renegade or Retrograde in the Era of Perestroika, and From Communist Solidarity to Communist Solitary - The 1990s Special Period in Peacetime. The image of the hero, Castro, and his rescued island had been replaced by that of a tyrant and a subugated kingdom. Neither image, as the author shows, reflects the complex facts. In any history of present-day Cuba, Castro must emerge as the protagonist, and this book provides a wealth of information that allows the reader to make some sense of the man.
