Commies and Racists would disagree
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Illiterate racists might suggest that "what should be done they should look to their future in America or else renounce their American citizenship and go back to the Cuba."Others who are pro-leftist/socialist/communist might venture into the realm of suggesting that Professor Suchlicki "descends into a series of personal opinions and observances peppered with historical facts." A simple web search on the author's name will show many more credentials than simply being "an adviser to officials in the Bush administration."A brilliant account narrated by one of the few historians not marred by leftist bias.
A very informative description of Cuban history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found myself reading much of this book as I would a novel. I was interested in it primarily due to my own ties to Cuba, however, the style and in-sight into the history and mind set of the Cuban people is truly intriguing. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the earliest Cubans and the other indigenous people in the Carribean.

Excellent work on the history of Cuba and US-Cuba Relations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Jaime Suchlicki does the professional and academic communities a great service by updating his book, Cuba: From Columbus to Castro and Beyond. A meticulous researcher, Suchlicki gives us over three decades of his experience on Cuba, particularly US-Cuba relations. A superb one-volume source for students of Latin American affairs, teachers, businessmen and diplomats. Suchlicki does not just bring alive the past, he speculates (from an informed perspective) on much broader issues, such as the future of Cuba. A must read for those interested in Cuba, a country which is sure to interests US administrations for years to come.
Enlightening review of the past...helpful looking forward.

With developments in Cuba moving faster, this book provides the reader with a clear and informative perspective on the past. I'm struck by the numerous miscalculations that have been made by people on all sides of the Cuba issue. Anyone seeking an informed view of Cuba and the US-Cuba relationship should read this book.
