One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War
from Knopf
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:

I was in college during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Between classes we sat in the Student Union Building watching CBS News on TV, waiting for a break in the tension - or the flash of a nuclear bomb.

Havana Before Castro
from Gibbs Smith, Publisher
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:

My wife and I escaped Cuba during the early sixties. Almost certain that we might be returning within a month or two (50 years ago) we did not bring along photographs, memories, or keepsakes of any kind.
"Havana Before Castro" is the best collection of memorabilia ever to touch my hands. more info

The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution
from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

Excellent!
At time, Mr. James annoyed me to no end. But what kept me reading was he had the balls to write truth, though at times his constantly editorializing made me roll my eyes. His work has certainly added to my body of knowledge about Haiti, Toussaint and other players.
The fact is... more info
