"An insightful, lucid exploration from post-World War II to the present by two specialists on Cuban and Canadian foreign relations"
--Library Journal
"this study has much to recommend it. . . . because several Canadian governments over the last four decades viewed US policy as irratinal, Canadians seized opportunities that arose in a 'friendly but not fraternal' relationship with Havana. The authors clearly do not admire Washington's policies, from the Bay of Pigs to Helms-Burton."

"This is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the history of Canadian foreign policy, not only because it is the first major study of Canadian relations with Cuba, but also because it offers a case study of a relationship in which Canada has adopted a somewhat independent stance in relation to U. S. policy with respect to a government that arouses strong feelings among American policy-makers. . . . An important book that students of Canadian foreign policy will find helpful, not only in uderstanding Canadian relations with Cuba in recent years but also as a case study in how Canadian foreign policy is inevitably influenced by Canada's special relationship with the United States." -- H-Net Book Review

"This is the first book-length study of Cuban-Canadian relations, and for that reason alone is an important contribution to the literature on interamerican relations. . . . Essential reading for students of interamerican relations interested in Canadian foreign policy. It broadens the scope for specialized research in a field of growning importance." -- Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs

"A valuable addition to the rather scant literature on the relations of the outside world with revolutionary Cuba." -- International Affairs

"[A]bsolutely essential reading for those interested in either the international relations of Cuba or Canada, or both, and will reward those with an interest in US-Cuban relations as well." -- Latin American Studies

"An important and timely contribution to the literature on Canadian foreign policy. While spotlighting Canadian efforts and their consequences - both positive and negative - since 1959, the book plainly illustrates the shortsightedness of U.S. policy." - American Review of Canadian Studies
