Embargo

Embargo chronicles the story of the politics and collusion behind the Cuban embargo; its history, impact and evolution. Along with information from recently declassified documents and original interviews with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Sergei Khrushchev, Ted Sorensen, and Lucie Arnaz - among others - an unprecedented array of historical political, social and cultural perspectives are revealed dating back before the 1959 Cuban revolution that catapulted Castro to power, and led to the failed CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion and 1962's Cuban Missile Crisis.
