This book presents aspects of the Cuba policy during Gerald R. Ford’s administration (August 9, 1974 to January 20, 1977), and the oscillations between carrot and stick that was its hallmark. The book’s Cuban perspective complements the knowledge of the U.S.-Cuban relationship during the mid-1970s.
