From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. William Morgan， an American who made his way to the front line of Castro’s revolution in Cuba， gets thorough and entertaining treatment in this biography. Largely unknown in the U.S.， his story is filled with the suspense of a blockbuster war movie， offering new and insightful perspective into the political climate of 1950s Cuba. From Morgan’s Ohio beginnings， Shetterly quickly moves to his life in rebel camps in Cuba’s mountains， which Shettterly describes exquisitely， and quite viscerally. Deftly weaving together a considerable amount of research to set the scene， he uses his findings to paint an intriguing and nuanced portrait of Morgan as well as the political tensions of the time. In fact， in addition to Morgan’s story， there’s a fascinating subplot about how Castro and the revolutionaries did not enter the revolution with a clear Communist platform， but slowly evolved that way from internal and external forces. Issues of nationalism and the role of journalism play a large role in the book， turning the intriguing story of one man into a thoughtful examination of 20th-century Cuban history. (Aug. 10)
