About The Book
January 1984 marked the 25th anniversary of Fidel Castros emergence to power. The Cuban Revolution: 25 Years Later is a product of the CSIS Cuba Project, a long-term effort to focus public as well as policymakers attention on Cuba-related affairs. The lead author, Lord Thomas of Swynnerton, is the dean of political-historical studies on Cuba, and author of the encyclopedic Cuba: The Pursuit of Freedom.
A great deal of myth surrounds the evolution of Cuba since Castros emergence to power over 25 years ago. Some of this myth is the product of official Cuban propaganda; some of it is also due to a generally misinformed American public. Sifting through available data to distinguish between fact and fiction, this book evaluates broadly the impact of Castros regime on Cuba itself. Based on the findings of the CSIS Cuba Project, the book draws on the assessments of 18 top Cuban specialists on the political, economic, cultural, and social development of Cuba since 1959. In contrast to democracies such as Costa Rica, the equalization of society that has taken place under Castros leadership has been accomplished by redistributing existing resources, not by creating new wealth. Moreover, the authors conclude that in politics, culture, and the economy, Cuba under Castro has become and remains rigid, stagnant, enormously militarized, and ideologically absolutist.

Guide
The Center for Strategic and International Studies of Georgetown University is a policy center concerned with providing anticipatory, integrated assessments of major international issues confronting U.S. policymakers. The world about us is constantly changing, sometimes in ways that we only dimly perceive. This is a chronic problem in the Caribbean Basin where our attention is at best cyclical and rarely very thorough or insightful.
The Centers Latin American Studies Program is aimed at making a significant contribution to the development of a realistic, long-term strategy toward the area; a strategy that recognizes regional conditions, reflects U.S. interests, and is acceptable to the U.S. public. A central component of this contribution is the Cuba Project, which is an on-going effort to dispel some of the myths about Cuba and its revolution in order to establish a policy that is balanced and realistic.
This publication has been prepared by a working group involving a diverse mix of the most insightful analysts of Cuban affairs from iis country and abroad. It makes a major contribution to an understanding of the domestic impact of Castros revolution and his government.

Events in the Caribbean Basin are at a critical juncture. Rising above the tide of rhetoric are dangerous trends for the regions political security and economic viability. At the epicenter of this geopolitical environment stands Cubafoe to some, model to others.
The Castro revolution of 1959 now stands as a decisive landmark in the modern history of Latin America. Throughout Latin America the magnetism of Castros personality, the indoctrination and regimentation of Cuban society, the communization of the economy, and the ruthlessness of the political system have aroused deep sentiments and caused striking developments within the region. Moreover, Cubas impact over the last 25 years has acquired extra-hemispheric dimensions. In political and military affairs Havana has become a major influence in Third World radicalism and a key component of Soviet global strategy.
A reevaluation of the Castro regime is apropos on the occasion of the Cuban revolutions silver jubilee. In particular the question arises: what is the extent and significance of the thorough permutation of Cuba under Castro? In this period of reappraisals, the Cuban government remains eager to maintain and disseminate a self-created and assiduously cultivated image of constant positive achievements. The domestic transformation of Cubas society has in fact been widely viewed as moving toward the development of a socialist environment. Although no longer viewed as a panacea for the problems of the developing world it is still widely proposed as a problem-solver for Latin Americas social ills, if not those of the entire Third World. But to what degree are these much-publicized images myths? What are the significant feats of the Cuban regime since 1959?
