World Affairs Council Presents EAST BAY CHAPTER -- The Future of US-Cuban Relations and Foreign Policy under Obama March 18, 2009

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, award-winning journalist Reese Erlich discusses the uncertain future of US-Cuban relations. Ever since the Cuban Revolution, Cuba and the US have shared mutual enmity and distrust of one another. Cuba is in the midst of a historic transition of power, and President Obama committed to engage in dialogue with US adversaries. In his newest book, Dateline Havana: The Real Story of U.S. Policy and the Future of Cuba, Reese Erlich lays out President Obama's options and challenges regarding Cuba. He will explore Cuba's strained history with the US and the power of the Cuba Lobby at this FREE event.
