5.Havana Before CastroHavana 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.

Customer Review:
I rate this book with five stars nor for what is says, but for what it does not say; not because I have accepted the authors' theory, but because it drove me to pay very special attention precisely to things left unsaid.
If a top secret plan, "C-Day", had indeed been penetrated, if Chicago,... more info

Alex Berenson has done the public a huge public service with this book.
