PositiveUSA Today\"This Is Cuba... ★★★ out of four... goes deep behind the sugar-cane wall of an island nation where resilient yet poor people have struggled to eke out decent lives under the iron fist of Fidel Castro and later, his brother Raul.\
Michael Beschloss
MixedUSA Today\"It’s a dense read, best for serious history buffs ... Beschloss didn\'t pen this 10-year project in vain. At least one member of Congress sees the threat [the book describes].\
Susan Orlean
PositiveUSA TodayThe Library Book is a sheer delight ... The most enjoyable part of the book surrounds the Los Angeles library system\'s feminist beginnings, several chief librarians having been women ... Orlean has created a book as rich in insight and as varied as the treasures contained on the shelves in any local library.
Travis Jeppesen
PositiveUSA TodayThough he stays long enough in North Korea to get a deeper view, Jeppesen is still treated as a foreigner ... While his book is hardly a love letter, he bemoans that almost all U.S. reporting on North Korea is negative, often colored by South Korea\'s dislike of the North, and that few Western news operations have any Korean speakers who could help unfold a more balanced view of nuanced life in North Korea. Those searching for clues as to whether Trump has a shot at ever forging a new relationship with North Korea may come away from this book as confounded as ever. There are no blacks and whites about North Korea—only grays.
