Very Good in a Fair Dust Jacket. Item #15622

Even though Havana is not Paris by a long jai-alai shot, it is a very exciting city and one better understood by the casual visitor who brings with him some knowledge of the Cuban capital's history.

Unfortunately, most Yanquis come to Cuba with no more background than a ready leer for the nightlife they read about in the travel brochures, the remembered fragrance of a good Havana cigar. And this history – travel guide presents the city from the founding to the accession to power of Batista. [NTT Book Review, March 1953]
