Grade 7 Up–Through the use of interviews, articles, and first-person narratives, this book focuses on the significance of the 1959 revolution and its aftermath. An extensive introduction explaining events precipitating the rise of Fidel Castro, the revolution, and the current situation in Cuba provides readers with a necessary overview to understand the succeeding chapters. Each section presents historical documents, narratives, and articles by famous people such as Castro himself and Che Guevara as well as pieces by visiting journalists and interviews with ordinary citizens. A few black-and-white photos and maps are included.–Doris Losey, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library, Tampa, FL
