¿Por Que la Revolucion Cubana?

Overview

In the 1950's, Cuba was much more than just Havana, with its thriving night life, luxurious hotels, celebrities, and the most recent models of Fords and Chevrolets. There was another, true Havana, shown throughout the pages of this book with profuse documentation of the era of the revolution. Press articles and photographic testimonies are included. Cuba was denounced as a ruthless, dependent and underdeveloped country, plagued by social inequalities, large-scale unemployment, illiteracy, and overwhelming shameful misery. This book provides a look into this Cuba—one we must never forget so that we never return.
