Product Description
Alfredo Jose Estrada's intimate ties to Havana form the basis for this "autobiography," written as though from the city's own heart. Covering the island's five hundred year history, Estrada portrays the adventurers and dreamers who left their mark on Havana, including Jose Marti, martyr for Cuban independence; and Ernest Hemingway, the most American of writers who became an unabashed Habanero.
Deeply personal and affecting, Havana is the accessible and complete story of the city for the history buff and armchair traveler alike.

3 out of 5 stars too bias   November 25, 2007
R. Fernandez (USA)
8 out of 16 found this review helpful

I first met the writer during the book fair at the Miami Dade Community College on November 11, 2007. During the conference he spoke about his book and also made some anti embargo comments. Mr. Estrada spends more time accusing past Cuban dictators such as Batista, Grau and Machado of criminal acts and at the same time idolizes a criminal such as Ernesto " Che" Guevara. At no time does Mr. Estrada refers to Fidel Castro as a corrupt dictator that has committed more crimes on the Cuban people than all of Cuba's past "Presidents" put together. Nevertheless the book is well written if he had balance fairly the political history of Cuba.
