A History of Cuba

By Robert E Sosa

A history of Cuba from her discovery in 1492 to her vertiginous collapse almost five centuries later.
Two features distinguish this book from the typical history of Cuba. The first is its portraits of the educators and intellectuals that in the 18th and 19th centuries formed the political and economic ideology that animated the movements for independence, and created the basis for Cuba's continuing social, political, and economic progress. Without knowing these great men, it is not possible to fully understand Cuban history and to realize the true dimension of the calamity that befell the once-promising island nation.
The second difference is that for the disastrous decade beginning in 1952, the narrative departs from a simple chronological account, and presents events from the perspective of the average citizens: what they witnessed, what they experienced, and how they reacted.
