Educated at Oxford University, Von Tunzelmann (1977-) had previously published a study of the collapse of British India, entitled Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire (2008).Red Heat explores the political regimes of three presidents who each ruled over a Caribbean nation during the 1950s and 1960s; François Duvalier of Haiti, Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic and Fidel Castro of Cuba. In particular it looks at their administrations in the context of the Cold War between the capitalist United States and socialist Soviet Union, with the former backing Duvalier and Trujillo and the latter backing Castro.The book was widely reviewed in the mainstream press in both the United Kingdom and United States, gaining a predominantly positive reception, with most reviewers praising von Tunzelmann's writing style.
