This comprehensive book delves into a thorough examination of the United States' policy towards Cuba, meticulously crafted and implemented by the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. Drawing upon a wealth of governmental and other sources from both the U.S. and Cuba, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the shifts in U.S. policy and its profound political and practical implications. Despite facing a combination of dirty war and passive containment, Cuba continued to endure the effects of these strategies throughout the 1960s. However, the influence of the dirty war policy began to wane due to the failure of violent tactics to overthrow the Cuban Revolution. Consequently, the policy shifted towards passive containment, characterized by its emphasis on intensifying the economic blockade, promoting diplomatic isolation, and launching propaganda campaigns and psychological warfare. What sets this book apart is its unique Cuban perspective, which not only complements but also enhances our understanding of the U.S.-Cuban relationship during the 1960s and the policy adopted by the Johnson administration. By exploring this critical period in history, the book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics and historical context of the U.S.-Cuba relationship, shedding light on the enduring legacies and impacts of this policy era.
