Blockade: The longest economic siege in history

by Andrés Zaldívar Diéguez

For nearly five decades, the U.S. government has carried out “the longest economic siege in history,” aimed at strangling the Cuban Revolution. The sheer scope of this “intense economic war,” along with Cuba’s resistance to it economically, politically, and diplomatically, have been central components of the nearly 50 years of the Cuban Revolution. Contains a concise account of the U.S. embargo, and the steps the Cuban Revolution has taken to defend itself against it. 12-page photo section, bibliography. Also available Spanish
