Abstract

The guerrilla led by Fidel Castro and the political implications of his triumph in 1959 constitute a widely researched object of study. This text seeks to offer a reading of US responses through the construction of a geopolitical code, which aims to neutralise the revolutionary inspiration produced by the Cuban example in Latin America. The analysis draws on a series of primary sources to highlight the political, economic and diplomatic strands that shape White House foreign policy not only towards Cuba, but also towards the whole of the region
