DESCRIPTION:
Exposes the double standard of the US 'war on terror' The story of US-Cuba relations, post 1959, has generally been subject to a serious information deficit.

This book gives a voice to the victims.Keith Bolender brings to bear the enormous impact that terrorism has had on Cuba’s civilian population, with over 1,000 documented incidents resulting in more than 3,000 deaths and 2,000 injuries.
