The themes of the history of Cuba are as vast as they are inspiring. Cuba has stared death in the face throughout its rocky history, and most of the time it has gazed into the eyes of death and smiled.

Over and over, oppressors have attempted to seize this island and its riches for their own selfish purposes. And over and over, revolutions have risen up to conquer in an attempt to return Cuba to its people.

The story of Cuba is a tale of courage and sacrifice, of horrific oppression and inspiring vision. It is a story about exploitation and hope, about a tiny island that rose to global importance.

There are battles and shipwrecks, pirates and Indians, tragic sacrifices and resounding triumphs. The Cuban people over and over show their resilience, courage, and passion in the face of incredible odds. They are a people that one cannot help but admire. And in this captivating history audiobook, you'll discover their story.

Great guide

The most realistic description of Cuba's contemporary reality available, both problems and strengths. President Obama and Secretary Kerry should read it.

Very interesting

You become much more aware of social and political exploitation and the means that were and still are necessary to end inequality. You gain a fair amount of knowledge on a man who's reputation was tarnished by the United States because of a difference in political thought.

Nice book

It will explain how Castro was so successful in overthrowing the corrupt government, ousting the mob, and most of all, why the people of Cuba back him and he is still their hero.

Get over it

Captivating History does an excellent job describing life in modern-day Cuba and the difficult transition the country continues to undergo after the death of Fidel Castro and the stepping down of Raul Castro. Captivating History gives a very insightful account of the way Latin American politics work as well as the mechanics of everyday life in Cuba. details the aggrieved relationship between the U.S. and Cuba which has existed for the last 60 years.
