CUBA IN THE CROSSHAIRS: Empire, Ideology, and the Next Caribbean Crisis

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Ninety miles from Florida, history may be preparing to accelerate again.

For more than five centuries, Cuba has occupied a position far larger than its geography suggests. From the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the destruction of indigenous societies to the rise of sugar plantations, slavery, revolution, Cold War confrontation, and modern great-power rivalry, the island has repeatedly stood at the crossroads of empire and resistance. Now, as tensions between the United States, China, Russia, and the Global South intensify, Cuba is once again emerging as a strategic flashpoint in the Western Hemisphere.

Blending historical depth with modern strategic analysis, in CUBA IN THE CROSSHAIRS, geopolitical analyst Conan Taggert delivers a sweeping and deeply researched investigation into the forces that shaped Cuba’s past—and the dangerous scenarios that could shape its future.

Neither ideological manifesto nor simplistic condemnation, CUBA IN THE CROSSHAIRS offers a nuanced examination of power, sovereignty, resistance, and imperial ambition in an increasingly unstable world. This is not merely the story of Cuba, but rather the story of competing empires, collapsing certainties, and the return of geopolitical confrontation to the Americas.

Perfect for readers seeking to understand how history, geography, and power continue to shape the twenty-first century.
