Daniel F. Solomon

Dawn Gable reviews Daniel F Solomon’s new book for Havana Times:

If I had to summarize in one word my book review of “Breaking Up With Cuba: The Dissolution of Friendly Relations Between Washington and Havana, 1956-1961”, by Daniel F. Solomon, it would be WOW!

This is one incredible piece of research: 229 pages detailing only five years of US-Cuban relations, meticulously referenced and annotated in another 55 pages (small font), and accompanied by a 27 page bibliography.

While it might deserve to be classified under reference, it is by no means laborious, dry or boring. One seldom comes across a book nearly this informative and engaging at the same time.
