About this book

An analysis of Cuba's history from a British diplomatic perspective during the period of US political and economic domination, from 1898 to 1964. It investigates how Britain attempted to protect its trade and other interests in the island, whilst always sensitive to the reactions of its most important ally, the United States.

Reviews

This book fills a gap in historical knowledge about British diplomacy in Cuba in the twentieth century, which until now has only produced a dozen articles, many by Hull himself, and no overall monograph. ... In all, this is a tremendously valuable case study of the compromises and care that must be part of the diplomacy of a great power while it experiences a slow but steady decline.
