{"product_id":"9781583673409","title":"The Economic War Against Cuba","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is impossible to fully understand Cuba today without also understanding  the economic sanctions levied against it by the United  States. For over fifty years, these sanctions have been upheld by  every presidential administration, and at times intensified by individual  presidents and acts of Congress. They are a key part of  the U.S. government's ongoing campaign to undermine the Cuban  Revolution, and stand in egregious violation of international  law. Most importantly, the sanctions are cruelly designed for their  harmful impact on the Cuban people.  In this concise and sober account, Salim Lamrani explains everything  you need to know about U.S. economic sanctions against  Cuba: their origins, their provisions, how they contravene international  law, and how they affect the lives of Cubans. He examines  the U.S. government's own official documents to expose what is  hiding in plain sight: an indefensible, vicious, and wasteful blockade  that has been roundly condemned by citizens around the  world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MONTHLY REVIEW PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52395434737938,"sku":"9781583673409","price":28.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781583673409.jpg?v=1781820582","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781583673409","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
