This review is from: La Hora Final De Castro: La Historia Secreta Detras De La Inminente Caida Del Comunismo En Cuba (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

More telling than any other cold-war era work compiled over the last 15 years, Andres Openheimer dives into the case that almost brought Fidel Castro and his regime to its knees in late 1980's Havana. With accurate and never before revealed information, the writer investigates an array of characters from simple citizens to famed and personal friends of the dictator. A must read if you are looking to brush up on recent Cuban history and politics.

This review is from: La Hora Final De Castro: La Historia Secreta Detras De La Inminente Caida Del Comunismo En Cuba (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This is a detailed account of a crucial era in the life of Communism in Cuba. Oppenheimer is fastidious with information. Everything is taken into consideration. The only problem is that the whole premise of the book did not cooperate: Castro did not have his final hour.

This review is from: La Hora Final De Castro: La Historia Secreta Detras De La Inminente Caida Del Comunismo En Cuba (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

A book written in 1993 forecasts the immediate downfall of the Castro regime. Twelve years later, Castro remains. The book? Barely there... just a compilation of old Cuban exiles and Dept of State cliches. It's amazing this guy still finds newspapers willing to buy his stuff and people willing to believe him. I guess the reader's short attention span issues are more acute than we thought.
