Reviews

[Lucas Podesta · Rating 3 out of 5]

Comprehensive overview of the Cuban revolution as it stood in 1987. The book is written from a libertarian-left perspective so is a relatively unbiased account of the Marxist-Leninist state. Really interesting and accessible although written a while ago so quite a bit of it may be out of date. Presents the achievements and drawbacks in a balanced but sympathetic way.
