Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-25 00:00:00 Dody Putra An interesting look into life in Cuba through the lens of sports. Read most of this before our trip and then finished after. The author seems to notice or recognize the tourist perspective as well as the every day life, particularly the every day life of Cuban athletes, of Havana and other parts of Cuba.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-21 00:00:00 Jonathan Wydra Scott Price is such a wonderful writer, and this book is another example of his very literary non-fiction. Very thoroughly researched book about the Cuban sports program; Price traveled to Cuba on multiple occasions to do interviews, watch games, etc. While ultimately not a glowing portrait of the Castro regime, it is nonetheless a genuine one (and one very sympathetic to ordinary Cubans), and there is no knee-jerk political tripe. The author conducts dozens of interviews, and really explores the question of why some elite Cuban athletes defect but others do not. The book also contains some very interesting anecdotes about baseball players who defect, only to ignore their Cuban wives and children after remarrying in the US.
