4.0 out of 5 stars First hand information at last, January 20, 2000
This review is from: Cruel and Unusual Punishment: The U.S. Blockade Against Cuba (Paperback)
It was about time someone explained just what the blockade is about. We've heard the word (shyly called embargo by some), but do we know the mechanisms of what must be called "an attempted humanitarian crime" ? Read all about it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pro-Castro propaganda., December 11, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Cruel and Unusual Punishment: The U.S. Blockade Against Cuba (Paperback)
First, there is no "blockade" of Cuba; there hasn't been for almost thirty-five years. Then, it was called a "quarantine," because the term "blockade" means an act of war. Castro and his sycophants want people to believe that the U.S. refusal to trade with his repellent little dictatorship is an act of war. In fact it is an act of moral protest, comparable to the drive to "disvest" in South Africa when it was under apartheid. The whole point of the book is a lie, backed by dubious statistics and attempts to wrack the readers' emotions, all delivered in a shrill, self-righteous whine.In sum, it's a total waste of time, unless you happen to be studying leftist "solidarity" groups and their tactics. As such, this book ranks as classic - even exemplary - pro-Castro propaganda
