Chapter 10 Bibliography
This admirable study draws attention to the often-overlooked relationship between Cuba and Russia. Written on the basis of a deep knowledge of the subject, the availability of new sources, and a willingness to challenge assumptions—while setting it all within a historical context—the book presents a fascinating picture of a relationship which is remarkably still partly driven by the past. It is a welcome addition to the literature.
— Antoni Kapcia, University of Nottingham
Balanced, informative, and timely, this book is the most thorough and helpful study in recent years to understand this significant strategic partnership—one which promises to become increasingly important. An excellent, well-researched and insightful study.

Russian-Cuban Relations is a welcome addition to the scholarly literature that fills a major void. The author presents his overall argument in a clear and straightforward manner.

A well-documented and exhaustive study. An invaluable resource for academics and researchers who wish to understand the profound nature of the Russo-Cuban relationship.
