Voices from the Other Side - 9780745330402

Since 1960, successive US administrations in Washington have waged an aggressive illegal war against Cuba, the human toll of which has long been ignored. Keith Bolender corrects this ignorance, offering a true people's history of perseverance. This book is highly recommended.-Greg Grandin, Professor of History at New York University and author of Empire's Workshop (2006)

Voices From the Other Side turns the prevailing paradigm of terrorism on its head: in this instance, Cuba as object of a policy of sanctions, subversion, and sabotage as experienced in the daily lives of the Cuban people.-Louis A. PTrez, Jr., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Since the early 1960's, few countries have endured more acts of terrorism against civilian targets than Cuba. The US has often been involved in these attacks. This book gives a voice to the victims.

Keith Bolender reveals the enormous impact that terrorism has had on Cuba's civilian population. Over 1,000 documented incidents have resulted in more than 3,000 deaths and 2,000 injuries. Bolender includes first-person interviews with surviving victims, and relatives and friends of those killed. The book is a unique resource for anyone interested in Cuba's troubled relationship with the US.
