Cuba after the Castros
- to This is a past program
Having survived 11 U.S. presidencies, Fidel Castro and his brother Raul continue to rule the tiny island nation despite a long and vexed relationship with its superpower neighbor. Will the U.S. embargo of Cuba end before the Castro rule does? Journalist and former Cuban revolutionary Max Lesnik and Castro biographer Ann Louise Bardach will join us to provide some insight. Currently the director of Radio Miami, Lesnik has been the target of several assassination attempts for his open opposition to the embargo. Bardach has reported on Cuban-Miami politics for more than 16 years and is the author the new book, Without Fidel: A Death Foretold in Miami, Havana, and Washington.
