What if the next great American foreign policy disaster is only ninety miles from shore?
This book argues that a US military confrontation with Cuba would not be a clean show of force but a fast-moving catastrophe—one with the power to destabilize the Caribbean, trigger mass migration, damage America’s global standing, and unleash far reaching consequences.
Blending history, geopolitics, and sharp policy analysis, it shows how old obsessions, new political pressures, and great-power rivalries could turn a long-frozen conflict into a modern crisis. Tracing the inner workings of government in a way few ever see, this book reveals how invasions unfold. In covering policymaking, intelligence analysis and military planning, it reveals how the path to violence is readily available, but also the possibility of preventing war.
Praise for the book:
"In this provocative, innovative, and creative work, James presents the dramatic implications of a US invasion of Cuba -- implications that policymakers and all Americans should understand and appreciate." - Eric Schwartz, Former US Assistant Secretary of State
"A well-researched breakdown of current military planning and tactical understanding helps the reader see the multitude of risks inherent in such an undertaking." - Gary F Sargent, Lieutenant Colonel, US Army Special Forces (Ret)
