Since 1959, conflict and aggression have dominated the story of U.S.-Cuban relations. Now, LeoGrande and Kornbluh present a new and increasingly more relevant account. From Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Castro after the missile crisis, to Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Obama's promise of a 'new approach,' LeoGrande and Kornbluh reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, indicating a path toward better relations in the future"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Negotiation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Negotiation $z Cuba $x History. 650 0 $a Reconciliation $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Cuba. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 700 1 $a Kornbluh, Peter. 941 $a 6 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214040615.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091926.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707015605.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200701010231.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210022004.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20150515015905.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8375524671411E493134583DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
