As Cuba and the U.S. look ahead to rapprochement, Hayden fills in the revolutionary background—of both nations. The author of the seminal Port Huron Statement and a former California state legislator, Hayden gives an illuminating overview of Cuba from the Cold War to Elián González and on to the present, buttressing the history with generous selections from the writings of Che Guevara, Regis Debray, C. Wright Mills, and others. Hayden will be introduced by John Angelos, who in 1999 represented the Baltimore Orioles in negotiations between the U.S. and Cuban governments that resulted in a historic two-game series between the Orioles and the Cuban National Baseball Team.
