Summary: Seeing Castro Plain
Review: Montaner has written the best book of the dozens I have read on Castro's Cuba. With humor, dry wit, impeccable research, and a straight-forward writing style, journalist Montaner explains the ideological and personal demons that rule Castro, the origins of the Cuban Revolution, and the 40-plus years of disasters that have befallen the Cuban people since their "liberation." He is unsparing in his criticism of United States ineptitude in handling Castro's Cuba, but recognizes that Castro, and Castro alone, bears ultimate responsibility for Cuba's distress. This is a wonderful book, written for anyone and everyone with curiosity about Cuba, the Cold War, and the nature of modern political evil. I literally could not put the book down, and read it in one sitting.
