Summary

Valuable chapters on Cuba treating the period from the machadato to the Revolution can be found in the following general studies: Hugh Thomas, Cuba or The Pursuit of Freedom (London, 1971); Jaime Suchlicki, Cuba: From Columbus to Castro, 3rd ed. (Washington, D.C., 1990); Jorge Domínguez, Cuba: Order and Revolution (Cambridge, Mass., 1978); Louis A. Peréz, Jr., Cuba: Between Reform and Revolution (New York, 1988); and Ramón E. Ruiz, Cuba: The Making of a Revolution (Amherst, Mass., 1968). Among the better general historical surveys published in Cuba are Oscar Pino Santos, Historia de Cuba: Aspectos fundamentals (Havana, 1964); Julio E. Le Riverend, Historia de Cuba (Havana, 1973), and Ministerio de Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias, Historia militar de Cuba (Havana, n.d.). A complete history of Cuba is contained in the ten-volume collaborative work supervised by Ramiro Guerra y Sánchez, Historia de la nación cubana (Havana, 1952). Also of some use is the three-volume work by Emeterio S. Santovenia and Raúl M. Shelton, Cuba y su historia, 3rd ed. (Miami, 1966) and the five-volume study by José Duarte Oropesa, Historiología cubana (n.p., 1969–70), as well as Calixto C. Masó, Historia de Cuba (Miami, 1976) and Carlos Márquez Sterling, Historia de Cuba, desde Colón hasta Castro (New York, 1963). The two-volume anthology published under the auspices of the Grupo de Estudios Cubanos of the University of Havana, La república neocolonial (Havana, 1975–79), deals expertly with a variety of topics including labour, economic history, the armed forces, and the ABC revolutionary society.
