THE U.S. Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations' (SHAFR)
2003 first prize came as something of a shock to its winner.

Piero Gleijeses, professor at the John Hopkins University in New York, author of the book

Missions in Conflict: Havana, Washington and Africa 1959-1976,

couldn't believe that he was worthy of such a distinction,"given that

the principal message of the text is the altruistic Cuban aid to Africa

that among other results, propitiated the release of Nelson Mandela,"
he informed Granma International.

In fact it is extremely unlikely that a work that gives a positive
balance to the Cuban Revolution would be awarded at any point. But
now, in a year when campaigns against the island are multiplying in
the United States and Europe, comes this astonishing result. The
professor didn't believe it until the decision was made official.
