    Bacardi And The Long Fight For Cuba

    Viking
    Latin

    A unique history of Cuba, captured in the life and times of the famous rum dynasty - Bacardi. This is the story, across five generations, of one family, its business, and its nation, a 150-year tale with the sweep and power of an epic. From the fight for Cuban independence from Spain in the 1860s to the rise of Fidel Castro and beyond, there is no chapter in Cuban history in which the Bacardis have not played a role, theirs is a story that describes the intersection of business and power, family and politics, community and exile.
