Jane Morgan Franklin was an American historian and scholar with a particular focus on Cuba–United States relations.[1][2][3][4][5] Her 1992 book The Cuban Revolution and the United States: A Chronological History is regarded as encyclopedic,[6] systematic,[7] and based on "extremely wide-ranging research".[8][9][10][11][12] She was a proponent of normalized relations between the two nations.[13][14] In addition to Cuba, she wrote about Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Panama.[15] 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 [that] replays the bitter conflict that cost more than 58,000 American lives."[16] 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.[17][18]
