DESCRIPTION:
In this acute and profoundly engaged exploration of Cuban history, Richard Gott illuminates the island's entire revolutionary past, from pre-Columbian times to the present. He emphasises little-known aspects of Cuba's early centuries and provides an extraordinary account of Castro's regime, its lonely survival in the post-Soviet years, and its expected future.
