Estrada, Alfredo José.
Summary: Takes readers from the Plaza de Armas, the tree-lined square where Havana was founded by Spanish conquistadors in 1519, to the Malecon, the elegant boulevard along the shore where Fidel Castro rode a Soviet tank in triumph. Estrada reveals the essence of his native city through the events that shaped its fascinating history and the people who left their stamp on its cobblestoned streets.
