Jane Franklin is an American historian and scholar with a particular focus on Cuba–United States relations.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Her 1992 book The Cuban Revolution and the United States: A Chronological History is regarded as encyclopedic,[7] systematic,[8] and based on "extremely wide-ranging research".[9][10][11][12][13] She is a proponent of solidarity between the two nations[14][15] and an advocate of the Cuban model of healthcare.[16] In addition to Cuba, she has written about Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Panama.[17] Her book Vietnam and America: A Documented History, which she co-edited, was described by the New York Times as a "valuable anthology of crucial texts and records" which "tersely replays the bitter conflict."[18][19] During the 1960s, she and her husband H. Bruce Franklin became radicalized because of the Vietnam War and were regarded as leaders in the anti-war movement.[20][21]
