Short History of Revolutionary Cuba
«Antoni Kapcia offers a probing, intellectually challenging, and deeply informed synthesis of Cuba’s contemporary history that provides much fodder for reflection and debate.»

«Antoni Kapcia offers a probing, intellectually challenging, and deeply informed synthesis of Cuba’s contemporary history that provides much fodder for reflection and debate.»
Hispanic American Historical Review
«Kapcia’s new book is a provocative and pertinent study, reconsidering Cuba’s revolutionary development and survival, despite overwhelming odds. He uses an innovative, fresh approach to address key ideological and political developments in the six decades of the Revolution, challenging many long-held interpretations. Insightful, provocative and balanced, the book is essential reading for all interested in Cuba’s 60-year (r)evolutionary process.»
