Description:“Death of a Dream” is a remarkable scholarship book in which Roig searched and described with lucidity, the historical events and collective behavior of the Cubans. The book twenty one chapters are explicitly historical, strongly analytical, concisely written and closely argued; the result is a brilliant narrative that spanned over five centuries of Cuba's history. This encyclopedic telling is a fast moving and fascinating and much needed, relatively unbiased account of Cuba's promise as a sovereign nation. Mary DeLorse Coleman, PhD Executive Director, Afro Cuban Research Institute, Jackson State University This panoramic study of Cuban history from Columbus to the Castro revolution is beautifully told. Pedro Roig unmasks many of the myths of the Castro brothers’ dictatorship while placing them in the much larger and more appealing context. This is a balanced, objective, and eminently readable account.
