Summary: A good internal political history of Cuba.
Comment: Louis Perez has written a good history of internal political developments in Cuba from Columbus to Castro. What is missing, however, is the role of the U.S.; Perez almost totally ignores it. He has a separate volume dealing with U.S.-Cuban relations, but it still seems that more should have been included in this one. Perhaps Perez views Cuban events as just that: purely Cuban with outside influences mattering little.
Rating: 3
Summary: Too much economics, but good analysis of events.
Comment: Louis Perez -I had a cousin by that very name- is very well documented, but focuses on economics and statistics with a vengeance, touching ever so lightly on other aspects of Cuban history, like its culture through the centuries. He is repetitive. The good news is, he is a very good analyst of events and people. I can say that, because I lived some of the history he writes about and heard some more from parents and grandparents.
Rating: 5
Summary: Best Cuban history book available
Comment: I read this book 8 years ago (the first edition) and still remember it as being the best Cuban history book available. Perez tells Cuba's history thoroughly, using fascinating details and stories, and does a masterful job at explaining the main tendencies in the island's history. His writing is clear, entertaining and well-referenced. His political position does not dominate his account either and refrains from bashing or glorifying the revolutionary period. If I was going to suggest only one book on Cuba's history, it would be this one. (And I've read most of what's available)
