Comments on the Award-Winning "Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, and Africa 1959-1976" "Fascinating . . . and often downright entertaining. . . . Gleijeses recounts the Cuban story with considerable flair, taking good advantage of rich material."--Washington Post Book World "Gleijeses's research . . . bluntly contradicts the Congressional testimony of the era and the memoirs of Henry A. Kissinger. . . . After reviewing Dr. Gleijeses's work, several former senior United States diplomats who were involved in making policy toward Angola broadly endorsed its conclusions." --New York Times "With the publication of Conflicting Missions, Piero Gleijeses establishes his reputation as the most impressive historian of the Cold War in the Third World. Drawing on previously unavailable Cuban and African as well as American sources, he tells a story that's full of fresh and surprising information. And best of all, he does this with a remarkable sensitivity to the perspectives of the protagonists. This book will become an instant classic." --John Lewis Gaddis, author of We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History For more information call: 917-887-8710, 212-854-8789 ===== Carlos Rovira - "Carlito" ================================ Cuba SI - Imperialism NO!
