“ Cuba: A New History” is a compelling & insightful read, shining new light on forgotten corners of Cuba’s history, not only those surrounding a certain cigar-chomping leader; events in Fidel Castro`s island nation often command international attention & just as often inspire controversy. Impassioned debate over situations as diverse as the Cuban Missile Crisis & the Elián González affair is characteristic not only in modern times but throughout the centuries of Cuban history. In this concise & up-to-date book, British journalist Richard Gott casts a fresh eye on the history of the Caribbean island from its pre-Columbian origins to the present day. He provides a European perspective on a country that is perhaps too frequently seen solely from the American point of view. The author emphasises such little-known aspects of Cuba`s history as its tradition of racism & violence, its black rebellions, the survival of its Indian peoples, & the lasting influence of Spain. The book also offers an original look at aspects of the Revolution, including Castro`s relationship with the Soviet Union, military exploits in Africa, & his attempts to promote revolution in Latin America & among American blacks. In a concluding section, Gott tells the extraordinary story of the Revolution`s survival in the post-Soviet years. ...

Cuba is worth a visit. Or, as the authors of this book discovered, several. The average package holiday is simply not long enough to visit this country`s myriad of sights, all of which are worth seeing. Like so many visitors to Cuba, after their first trip more than fifteen years ago, they returned again & again to trek the sandy beaches shaded by swinging palm fronds, to marvel at the splendid topography of the Vinales Valley, & to admire Cuba`s selection of classic cars, which function as part of everyday life on this Caribbean isl&. As such, this uniquely illustrated book is a product of love. The authors have made it their mission to portray this resplendent nation in all its glory, & to bring Cuba`s stunning scenery to your living room. This book represents the ”best of” Cuban tours, led by passionate photographer Rainer Floer & his cousin Harri Morick. Morick speaks fluent Spanish, & thus he ensured that the pair were seen as classic car fans rather than regular tourists. They conducted numerous interviews, & in doing so also made friends with the interviewees. Spare parts came from Germany, stories from Cuba. Cars & culture blend in this snapshot of an evolving nation. But this evolution brings with it the threat of change. Who knows how much longer we will find classic cars on Cuba`s streets?

Includes:: splendid photos of classic cars dating from before the revloution; American limousines, taxis, & wedding cars; the history of the first Porsche in Cuba; an interview with an artist & his VW Karmann-Ghia, & the Harley Club in Cuba; & amazing scenes of Cuban streets & landscapes.
