from Knopf
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
Finished this one in 9 days - it was truly engaging and very suspenseful, particularly when one considers that everything is true and well-documented by a talented and sophisticated writter. I recommend.

2.Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba and Then Lost It to the RevolutionHavana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba and Then Lost It to the Revolution
from William Morrow
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
As someone with a mild curiosity about mob-related nonfiction, I picked up Havana Nocturne simply because it seemed like an interesting topic. I had little knowledge of T.J. English's writing or the role of the mob in Cuba beyond the pop culture portrayals. I was pleasantly surprised that English... more info

from Doubleday
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
Well researched account of a little known history. The human spirit is resourceful in the face of annihilation in the most astounding ways.
Jews are apparently among the first settlers and explorers in "the new world".

4.Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a CauseBacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause
from Viking Adult
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
In 1862 a businessman in Cuba with little experience in rum opened a small distillery hoping to make a working man's drink - and invented a formula that made his rum famous.

5.A Small PlaceA Small Place
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Customer Review:
I bought this book for a college class that I'm sailing through the Caribbean for. This is probably one of the best books I've read in a while. Kincaid's sarcasm and wit make this a fun read, and his poetic style enhances the text further. This work is a quick read, and I would recommend it to... more info

6.Motorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South AmericaMotorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South America
from Verso

Customer Review:
Very good book to read to learn what goes on in the head on Che. He shares his emotions and passion for life and everything that comes along with it. This book is based more on his personal opinions, likes and dislikes. You would get the opportunity to get in his head and read his thoughts. A little... more info

7.Havana Before CastroHavana 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

9.Guerilla WarfareGuerilla 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

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
