Irving Louis Horowitz, The Long Night of Dark Intent: A Half Century of Cuban Communism (New Brunswick NJ and London: Transaction Publishers, 2008)

摘要

Irving Louis Horowitz has inhabited Cuban studies for so long, not least with his repeated editions of Cuban Communism, that we already know where he is likely to stand on the issues broached in this chronological collection of his essays on Cuba since 1965. For those who are unsure, his dedication (to Jeanne Kirkpatrick) and his Preface make it crystal clear, with an explicit debt to Arendt (and thus to notions of totalitarianism) and with references to 'tragedy', 'tyrant' and 'family dictatorship'.
