Description

Cuba Confidential is a gripping account of the bloody vendetta between Miami and Havana since Fidel Castro first came to power in 1959. Award-winning investigative journalist Ann Louise Bardach brings together a decade of first-hand access to the crooks, spies and politicians who have made US-Cuban history - from Castro and his would-be assassin Luis Posada Carriles to the inner circles of Florida Governor Jeb Bush and embattled leaders of the exiled Cuban community in Miami. Exposing hardball tactics on both sides of the conflict and the devastating human consequences and shattered families in its wake, Bardach has created an unforgettable portrait of Cuba, its citizens and exiles.
