This admirable study draws attention to the often-overlooked relationship between Cuba and Russia. Written on the basis of a deep knowledge of the subject, the availability of new sources, and a willingness to challenge assumptions-while setting it all within a historical context-the book presents a fascinating picture of a relationship which is remarkably still partly driven by the past. It is a welcome addition to the literature.

Antoni Kapcia, University of Nottingham

Balanced, informative, and timely, this book is the most thorough and helpful study in recent years to understand this significant strategic partnership-one which promises to become increasingly important. An excellent, well-researched and insightful study.
