Four Men, Living the Revolution (Hardcover)

Description

The reminiscences of Benedí, Barrera, Salazar, and Capote offer a rare and, indeed, until now, a hitherto unavailable insight into some of the deepest recesses of socialist Cuba—into the hearts and minds of some of the actors in what may very well prove to be one of the most remarkable dramas in twentieth-century Latin America.

The reminiscences make important contributions. First, they provide detailed accounts of four lives caught up in the radical reorganization of Cuban society. Second, , and perhaps most important, the reminiscences serve to demystify the revolution and place it fully within its human context. In a fascinating and often compelling manner, Benedí, Barrera, Salazar, and Capote restore fully the human dimensions to a process so often abstracted of its human content.
