"This book examines the Cuba policy adopted by the Richard M. Nixon administration, 1969-1974. Based in U.S. and Cuban governmental, as well as other, sources the book studies the rupture where the policies of "passive containment" and "dirty war" were blended. Since the conditions for a violent policy had changed a continuance of the economic and psychological warfare came to be the central one. The book's Cuban perspective is unique and it enriches the knowledge of the U.S.-Cuban relationship during the late 1960s and the early 1970s. It is of interest for everyone interested in the issue, and especially for students and researchers within the disciplines of History and Political Science"--
