  • Descrição: “Whoever attempts to take hold of Cuba, if he does not perish in the struggle, will gather only the dust of its blood-soaked soil.” That was the spirit of Maceo and that was the spirit of our people. We have been worthy of him in these hard times that we have just gone through, in this confrontation where we were perhaps but a millimeter away from an atomic catastrophe. —Commander Ernesto “Ché” Guevara de la Serna, December 7, 1962, in Cacahual in a memorial to the Deputy General of the Liberating Army, Antonio Maceo y Grajales, on the anniversary of his death in combat (Obra Revolucionaria, No. 33 [1962], p. 6) Previous works on the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) have approached the topic from the point of view of the United States and its allies, while Cuban experiences have still not been sufficiently discussed. This book presents new aspects that have seldom—or never—been offered before, giving a detailed account of the crisis from a Cuban perspective. It also investigates the archaeological and anthropological aspects of the crisis by exploring the tangible and intangible remains that still can be found on the former Soviet missile bases in the Cuban countryside and through interviews that add a local, human dimension to the subject.
