About This Item
Indianapolis: the new Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. [1959], 1959. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. [4], 5-391, [1] pp. Quarter black cloth over red cloth with red and white lettering on the spine. Price of $5.00 on the front flap of the dust jacket. Two frontispieces and eight plates, double-sided with black and white photographs. Written by a correspondent from the Chicago Tribune, Dubois visited Cuba numerous times and interviewed Castro and several of his officials before the publication of this book. He was present in Havana when Castro defeated Batista, and Castro gave his first interview after the victory to Dubois. The author's rich background knowledge and relationship with Castro helps inform this history of the Cuban revolution, and the predictions for what was next for the island nation. Toning to the pageblock and a bit of foxing to the textblock; jacket has three small tape repairs to the reverse and a trace or two of edge wear.
