Decent brief history of Cuba

A pleasant to listen to and easy to follow history of Cuba. My one gripe is that the book neglects to mention, even in passing, the Mafia's involvement in pre-Castro Cuba and the many positives of post-revolution Cuba including 100% literacy in ten years, 0% homelessness, Cuba's role in ending South African apartheid and it's unparalleled health innovations (and medical aid the nation altruistically provides across the globe).
