Trade Review
"Fascinating... and often downright entertaining.... Gleijeses recounts the Cuban story with considerable flair, taking good advantage of rich material." - Washington Post Book World; "Gleijeses's research... bluntly contradicts the Congressional testimony of the era and the memoirs of Henry A. Kissinger." - New York Times; "With the publication of Conflicting Missions, Piero Gleijeses establishes his reputation as the most impressive historian of the Cold War in the Third World." - John Lewis Gaddis, author of We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History
