Combining robust narrative with a wide variety of interesting cases, “International Entrepreneurship: Starting, Developing, and Managing a Global Venture” focuses on the need for every entrepreneur to at least consider entering the global market in today’s hypercompetitive world. As an ever-growing number of countries become market oriented and developed, the distinction between foreign and domestic markets is becoming less pronounced, and entrepreneurs increasingly need to develop skills to identify opportunities and then manage these opportunities on a global basis.

At the height of the Cold War, the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations made removing Fidel Castro’s regime one of their highest foreign policy priorities. The Castro Obsession provides new insight into the bold U.S. covert war against Cuba that lasted from 1959 until 1965. Eisenhower and Kennedy’s fervent desire to get rid of Castro led to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, but the efforts to oust his regime did not end there. It became an obsession.
