3.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating book,
By James D. Crabtree "Doc Crabtree" (Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Across the cactus curtain: The story of Guantanamo Bay (Hardcover)
This is a kind of snapshot as to what Guantanamo was like at the end of the Cold War. The relations between the Americans and the Cubans on the other side of the wire fenceline are interesting in light as to how things go nowadays (I have yet to see a single member of Castro's army). Back when this was written there was at least some occasional shipping in and out of the inner bay but today any ship transiting to and from Guantanamo City would be a novelty. The military society inside Gitmo is different today than it was back then, at least partially due to the current multiservice nature of the installation. The author researched the history of the post and included many good photos. This is a great book for learning the history of Gitmo, at least until something newer comes along.
