About this listen
For over sixty years, the United States tried everything to bring Cuba to its knees. Invasions, embargoes, sabotage, propaganda, and over six hundred assassination attempts. None of it worked. This is the story of how a small Caribbean island became the Cold War’s most defiant survivor.
From the sugar empire and Mafia casinos to the rise of Fidel Castro and the missile crisis that nearly ended the world, this book traces the full arc of Cuba’s revolutionary saga and the decades-long grudge match with the most powerful nation on Earth. And you’ll understand why, after all this time, the embargo still stands, the flag still flies, and the island still refuses to die. This isn’t just about Cuba. It’s about empire, survival, and the long shadow of American failure.
