Full Description
It is impossible to fully understand Cuba today without also understandingthe economic sanctions levied against it by the UnitedStates. For over fifty years, these sanctions have been upheld byevery presidential administration, and at times intensified by individualpresidents and acts of Congress. They are a key part ofthe U.S. government's ongoing campaign to undermine the CubanRevolution, and stand in egregious violation of internationallaw. Most importantly, the sanctions are cruelly designed for theirharmful impact on the Cuban people.In this concise and sober account, Salim Lamrani explains everythingyou need to know about U.S. economic sanctions againstCuba: their origins, their provisions, how they contravene internationallaw, and how they affect the lives of Cubans. He examinesthe U.S. government's own official documents to expose what ishiding in plain sight: an indefensible, vicious, and wasteful blockadethat has been roundly condemned by citizens around theworld.
