7.		Havana Before Castro from Gibbs Smith, Publisher Price: $19.80 Customer Review: "Havana Before Castro" is the typical un-balanced poorly written account of Cuba before Castro. Without doubt, this book is a hit with the Miami Cuban Mafia. The real Cuba before Castro, was an island built by the rich and corrupt for the enjoyment of the rich and corrupt. Drugs, alcohol, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis (2nd Edition) from Longman Price: $15.50 Customer Review: Delivered early. Great condition. Good delivery info provided. I'll do it again.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Guerilla Warfare from Univ of Nebraska Pr Customer Review: This book is very simplistic and is based completely on the Cuban revolution. It has some interesting points here and there, but it is lacking the depth of other like works such as Mao's work on Guerrilla warfare. There are two works in one in this book. The first is on how to organize and fight a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $9.86 Customer Review: "Thirteen Days" is Robert F. Kennedy's enthralling memoir of the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, during which the United States under President Kennedy and the Soviet Union under Chairman Khrushchev came breathtakingly close to nuclear war. At issue was the clandestine placement of Soviet medium... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

11.		Ultimate Sacrifice: John and Robert Kennedy, the Plan for a Coup in Cuba, and the Murder of JFK from Basic Books Customer Review: This book is detailed and interweaves facts with follow-up opinions. The book goes into all facets of the assassination, but stays away from and makes excuses to exclude all government involvement. Instead, it keeps stressing that the mob did it. If the authors are so sure that the mob did it,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

12.		Waiting For Snow in Havana from Thorndike Press Customer Review: I loved this childhood memoir and I felt it is not only one of the best non-fiction books I've read, but it competes with my favarite: fiction. It has the feel of fiction as the people in the author's life and the author himself all had very vivid imaginations. So at times, the story felt totally... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

13.		The Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down from Mariner Books Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I hate to be the one that drops the review average, but for a book about pirates it was surprisingly dull. I realize that the very nature of pirates means there is not much archival material to work with other than official documents that are very likely biased, but I came away from this book not... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

14.		The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures, Vol. 1: To 1740 from Bedford/St. Martin's Customer Review: The textbook arrived in great condition, as promised. Unfortunately, it was not the right book for my daughter's class, so we returned it. I would definitely order again from this vendor.

15.		Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him from Sentinel Trade Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Many have called this book extemely biased, but if someone killed your countrymen, wouldn't you have a negative bias too? While most non-cubans proclaim him as the Mesiah, Humberto and his Cuban expatriots reveal many of his dastardly deeds. The cover says it all, so don't buy it and then be shocked... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

16.		Empire of Blue Water: Captain Morgan's Great Pirate Army, the Epic Battle for the Americas, and the Catastrophe That Ended the Outlaws' Bloody Reign from Three Rivers Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Popularized history reads like the back-story of Captain Jack Sparrow. No pretension of serious scholarship leaves Talty free to create a composite character "Roderick" to represent a typical pirate (technically privateer) in telling the story of how Henry Morgan, under commissions from England,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
