Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba
by Tom Gjelten
A history of the Bacardi family, beginning in the 19th century when the famous rum empire was founded in Cuba. My own work has focused on Cuba and Central America. If you told me you could sum up the history of the island through the story of one family, I would reply it couldn’t be done. But Gjelton has done it.
