Cuba's Intervention in Venezuela Maria C Werlau

This in-depth and comprehensive investigation describes how "revolutionary" Cuba essentially occupied Venezuela -not through a large military force in-situ but asymmetrically, placing assets strategically to command Venezuela's security forces, economy, information, communications, and society in general. It explores the evolution of a longstanding plan that led to a radical political alliance and regional integration project operating within an international criminal network. Finally, it explains how the much smaller and underdeveloped Cuba achieved this thanks to a unique methodological tool kit arisen from the totalitarian nature of its system. The implications are serious and far from regional.
