CUBA A new History

This new look at the history of Cuba illuminates the island's entire revolutionary past as well as the most recent decades of the Castro regime

In this acute and profoundly engaged exploration of Cuban history, British journalist Richard Gott illuminates the island's entire revolutionary past, from pre-Columbian times to the present. He emphasizes 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.
"Richard Gott's invaluable Cuba: A New History dispels many convenient myths."-Adam Feinstein, The Guardian

"Gott achieves the almost impossible feat of a measured, if appreciative, portrait of Cuba's leaders."-Alistair Hennessy, The New Left Review
