Cuba Libre: A Brief History of Cuba

by Paul J. Dosal

As a work intended as concise supplementary reading for undergraduates, in the general pattern of Harlan Davidson’s American and European History Series, Paul Dosal’s Cuba Libre is a smashing success―relating the fascinating history of the island nation in 150 pages of lively narrative―one that will set the tone for the volumes to follow. In its selection of facts and figures and steadily paced storyline, this succinct history of Cuba, from first contact with Europeans to the present, will appeal to students and instructors alike as interesting and informative reading for the Latin American and World History surveys, as well as specialized courses in Cuban history of Latin American-U.S. relations.

[JennyB · Rating 3 out of 5]

The whole of Cuban history in 125 pages. Short on detail, but good enough to grasp the broad outline, and well written.
