Recalling the failed popular uprisings of past decades, Castro assured them that this time "the real Revolution" had arrived. As Jonathan Brown shows in this capacious history of the Cuban Revolution, Castro's words proved prophetic not only for his countrymen but for Latin America and the wider world. Cuba's Revolutionary World examines in forensic detail how the turmoil that rocked a small Caribbean nation in the 1950s became one of the twentieth century's most transformative events. Initially, Castro's revolution augured well for democratic reform movements gaining traction in Latin America. But what had begun promisingly veered off course as Castro took a heavy hand in efforts to centralize Cuba's economy and stamp out private enterprise. Embracing the Soviet Union as an ally, Castro and his lieutenant Che Guevara sought to export the socialist revolution abroad through armed insurrection. Castro's provocations inspired intense opposition. Cuban anticommunists who had fled to Miami found a patron in the CIA, which actively supported their efforts to topple Castro's regime. The unrest fomented by Cuban-trained leftist guerrillas lent support to Latin America's military castes, who promised to restore stability. Brazil was the first to succumb to a coup in 1964; a decade later, military juntas governed most Latin American states. Thus did a revolution that had seemed to signal the death knell of dictatorship in Latin America bring about its tragic opposite.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Revolution and counterrevolution in Cuba -- How to consolidate a revolution -- The Caribbean war of 1959 -- Cuba and the Sino-Soviet dispute -- The gusano counterrevolution -- The bandido counterrevolution -- Commandos of the Caribbean -- The export of revolution -- The secret war for South America -- Revolutionary diplomacy and democracy -- Venezuela's guerrilla war -- Military counterrevolution in Brazil -- Soldiers and revolution in Peru -- From riots to golpe in Panama -- Origins of Argentina's armed struggle -- The last campaign of Che Guevara. 650 0 $a Revolutions $z Latin America $x History. 650 0 $a Military government $z Latin America $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Dictatorship $z Latin America $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Politics and government $y 1933-1959. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Politics and government $y 1959-1990. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Politics and government $y 1948-1980. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Latin America. 650 7 $a Dictatorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00892878 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Military government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021191 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Revolutions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096737 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 7 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073712.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023951.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006105311.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180524044718.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171020010129.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170722010806.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706035255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D14A1E2475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
