NPR international correspondent Tom Gjelten read from his new book, Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause, at Miami’s historic Freedom Tower, America’s most recognized icon of Cuban immigration.
Publisher’s Weekly says “Gjelten’s account of a liberal, progressive Cuban business clan complicates and enriches the conventional picture of a society torn between left and right dictatorships.”
Gjelten’s book provides a unique history of Cuba, captured in the life and times of the famous rum dynasty. The event and reception, was presented by Miami Dade College and Friends of WLRN.
