Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered

Taking advantage of recently declassified U.S. and Soviet documents, Farber challenges dominant scholarly and popular views of the Cuban revolution's sources, shape, and historical trajectory. Unlike many observers, who treat Cuba's revolutionary leaders as having merely reacted to U.S. policies or domestic socioeconomic conditions, Farber shows that revolutionary leaders, while acting under serious constraints, were nevertheless autonomous agents pursuing their own independent ideological visions, although not necessarily according to a master plan.Farber, Samuel is the author of 'Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780807856734 and ISBN 0807856738.
