Among the most comprehensive and longest-lasting embargoes in the history of U.S. foreign policy, the embargo against Cuba reflects the intricacies of the modern world: struggles for independence, relationships among national, regional, and global sources of power, and both North-South and East-West conflicts. Kaplowitz provides the most comprehensive historical analysis to date of the U.S. embargo and also explains why it has failed to achieve its major objectives—most notably the ouster of Fidel Castro—despite its longevity and exhaustive scope. Donna Rich Kaplowitz is adjunct professor of political science at Michigan State University and president of Cuba Research Associates. In 1988-1992, she served as deputy director of the Cuban Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, where she was also founder and executive editor of CubaINFO. Her publications include The Cuba Reader and Cuba's Ties to a Changing World.
