Of course the notion that Cuba would be a utopia without American embargos is absurd, though I do think there must be a better way for events and policies to have unfolded. Before the communist revolution in Cuba it was a major center of American investment and tourism.

Try the classic Our Man in Havana too. And if feeling literary, try Steven Hunter's new novel Havana. *Warning* Spoilers in review *here*

Just to throw something out there, is it possible with normalized relation with the US Castro would not have been able to play the “Enemy at the Gate” card. I am sure the siege mentality played up by Castro over the years has helped him stay in power where other Communist regimes have fallen.

In my opinion an excellent way to undermine a Communist dictatorship is to show the people what they are missing under that system, free-speech, human rights and Play-stations
