In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Cuba, where a momentous revolution had taken power three years earlier. For more than half a century, the stand-off continued—through the tenure of ten American presidents and the fifty-year rule of Fidel Castro. His death in 2016, and the retirement of his brother and successor Raúl Castro in 2021, have spurred questions about the country’s future. Spanning more than five centuries, Cuba provides us with a front-row seat as we witness the evolution of the modern nation.

Now I Understand Better
Revisado: 03-10-23
I now understand better the socialist mindset of those who did not flee Cuba. The author is obviously a committed socialist who explained why Cuba has persistently rejected the helpful overtures of the United States. Had Cuba chosen to accept the United States as a friend, they would have come to rival the success of Texas and Florida today. This book gave me what I wanted…insight into the unfortunate socialist mindset which has kept Cuba down for hundreds of years.

Stunning multivoice reading
Revisado: 10-24-18
The variety and emotion of the reader's presentation captured my mind, my emotion, my heart and my imagination. I felt the darkness of the low points as well as the soaring high morality of the noble characters. Freedom-loving humanitarians are not fully educated until they have heard this classic.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 60
Here is a magisterial book for today and the ages, one that inspires awe for both the subject and the author who accomplished the seemingly impossible: a sweeping intellectual biography, constructed from original sources, of the 20th century's most astonishing dissident intellectual. It has the apparatus of a great scholarly work but the drama of a classic novel.

Much more content than I expected
Revisado: 08-15-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It comprehensively describes the history and teachings of the Austrian School of Economics as well as how that school related to other schools of economics at the time.
What other book might you compare Mises to and why?
Human Action by Ludwig himself.
What does Paul Strikwerda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Constantly interesting inflection which keeps even the more tedious sections interesting.
