The November-December 2009 issue of Military Review has a piece on the Revolutionary Armed Forces’ direct participation in the Cuban economy entitled: “Revolutionary Management: The Role of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias in the Cuban Economy,” where my study “Soldiers and Businessmen: The FAR During the Special Period” is cited.
Issues covered in the article, which is written by Dr. Terry Maris, Ph.D., include: the Special Period, how the Cuban military quietly embraced the teachings of capitalism, perfeccionamiento empresarial, and military industries, among others.
Maris concludes, “a thorough examination of Cuban history reveals an evolution of the revolution that personifies the principles of both strategic and military management”.
