234: A History of the Cuban Revolution by Aviva Chomsky

A History of the Cuban Revolution (Viewpoints / Puntos de Vista)

From the book description:
A History of the Cuban Revolution presents a concise socio-historical account of the Cuban Revolution of 1959, an event that continues to spark debate 50 years later.
  • Balances a comprehensive overview of the political and economic events of the revolution with a look at the revolution’s social impact
  • Provides a lively, on-the-ground look at the lives of ordinary people
  • Features both U.S. and Cuban perspectives to provide a complete and well-rounded look at the revolution and its repercussions
  • Encourages students to understand history through the viewpoint of individuals living it


  • Why this is progressive/liberal: It's almost impossible to get an unbiased analysis of the Cuban Revolution. Aviva Chomsky's history is probably the closest you can come.
