This book also has the highly (to a Cuban emigre) irritating factor of being extremely pro-Castro and anti-US. I'm not naive about the US exploitation of Cuba pre-Castro, and the wholly selfish designs the US has had towards Cuba, but some of the excuses/explanations given in this book are just ludicrous. So all Cuban citizens 'voluntarily' work for free to help their country? (Not according to my cousins, forced on these 'voluntary' work sabbaticals, usually hard labor in the fields). The Castro government confiscated 'superfluous' houses from people with more than one home to house those without houses, but offered to pay the owners the value of the house? (My grandfather didn't get paid, neither did my father's family--not only were the houses taken from them, but they weren't allowed to remove any of the furniture either.) All the people shot by firing squad in the wake of the revolution were murderers and got a trial? (When dozens of people were being executed in a day, I hardly think there was much time for a trial). Anyway, I could go on and on. About the only positive thing I can say about this book is that it makes me more interested in learning more about Cuba's history and what happened during the sixties.
