Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba - Tom Gjelten
Reviewed in the Guardian Weekly and also getting good reviews on Amazon.com. I enjoy reading this type of social history. This is the history of the Bacardi rum company - a family business - and its involvement in Cuban politics.
I logged into my Amazon account and my entire wish list had disappeared! All those books - over 70 items - vanished into thin air. Close to despair I took a rest and listened to one of my relaxation CDs. Returning an hour later it occurred to me that maybe I'd logged into the wrong Amazon account. Yea! So now, rather than risk losing this list again, I've decided to write my wish list right here - and hope that Blogger isn't about to do any disappearing tricks either.
These are all books that I hope one day to borrow and read or buy and keep. I've heard about them from friends, come across reviews (usually in The Guardian Weekly), or I've read other books by the same author. It is my intention that others will be inspired to read some of these books too - that referring to this list will give you ideas about what to read when you're wondering "what shall I read next week?".
And if you're buying your books from Amazon please consider supporting this site by making your purchase via the Amazon links on the right hand side lower down the page. Thank you!
