Customer Reviews

Interesting read on a little known topic

Before I start, I want to state that I have seen another review on the internet that was not favorable towards this book, but that reviewer has far more expertise on this subject than I will ever have. That said, I did find Chaffin's book to be an informative read on a little known topic in American and Cuban history (far less known in the former country than the latter). Anyone with a passing interest in Cuban history, or filibustering will enjoy Chaffin's writing style. I would recommend this title.
