Tom Gjelton, whom you hear on NPR and Washington Week, has written a contemporary history called "Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba." Bi-lingual Gjelton, spent a lot of time in Cuba researching the parallel stories of a family owned rum company and 20th century Cuba. You will meet fascinating characters like Facundo Bacardi, Emilio Bacardi, Pepin Bosch and, of course, Fidel and Raul Castro. And you will learn more about the intervention in Cuba by the United States. It's a wonderful saga of a family and a country.
