Return to Havana

Maurice Halperin knew Fidel and Che then--and he continues to understand them now. No other observer and no other book can give you a better idea of how the Cuban Revolution, the inspiration and prototype for so many revolutions of our age, finally came out. The way it was and the way it is: it's all here.
--Georgie Anne Geyer, Political correspondent and author of Guerilla Prince: The Untold Story of Fidel Castro

Halperin offers an insider's perspective on the Cuban economy and reconsiders Castro's dominant role in Cuban life. This is an important assessment that joins other recent reports as a continuing indictment of the Cuban experiment.
